What's truly fucking pathetic is that there are so many libs who believe that looking good in front of a camera is what it takes to be a good President...

Whats truly pathetic is that there are so many conservatives who do not include the ability to think strategically as a skill a president should possess.......

Well I would like some other indicator, too, but that's simply not what an election is about.

What's happening is the same as when Republicans got all gooey over Reagan. They still talk about the guy like they wished they could have fucked him.

No, what's truly pathetic is the average voter, who I'd never accuse of being too quick. The average voter no longer has the appetite to be challenged or inspired anymore; therefore, the only people who get elected now are the ones who promise the easiest and most short-sighted solutions.

I think he needs to wait, keep waiting and it is indeed not a bad tactic...just let Obama run ahead as he sees fit until about the middle of the debates to put through a push to win. Make sure Obama only leads within a handful of points and doesn't get too far ahead though.

These town halls are the sort of thing where McCain will probably do well, so having them now is not wise, he'll probably edge back to level soon enough just in time for Obama to name a VP and get another small bounce, then McCain can claw back with his own and they can keep doing that until the debates and through mid October.

Personally i am thrilled that this didn't go ahead, i never expected it to like i don't expect McCain's "President's questions" to go anywhere either but the prospect of those morons sitting around in a town hall boring the shit out of everyone is just nausiating to me.

Very funny.....

I've seen two Obama press conferences in the last couple of weeks and both were painful to watch.

Obama has good reason not to expose himself. Speaking with prepared speeches in front of adoring crowds is one thing, but standing next to someone who actually has a good handle on the issues is a bit too much to ask for Obama.

Answering questions also seems to be very difficult for Obama because the truth is a serious problem for him. Unlike Bill Clinton and John Kerry, Obama is not a very convincing liar. By the time he gets done stuttering and stammering in a long drawn out answer nobody remembers what the question was.

Yep. Team Obama is counting on the inexperienced, uninformed voters. Nice.

Ummmm. Who else went to Harvard??? Oh yeah! George Bush!! Guess it all depends on one's perception, huh?

Oops. Caveat. ....unless your daddy buys your way.

Typical liberal disdain for average people. Talk about elitism.

Individual voters may not have a firm grasp of the issues at stake, but collectively, they show an impressive level of wisdom and make few mistakes. One famous mistake was picking Carter (Obama's closest idealogical predessor) in 1976. Those chose style over substance on that occasion. Can you say dejavu?
