McCain is a pretty awful campaigner.
I think the Clintons are as good as it gets at campaigning, which is why I am very impressed that Obama was able to take them to task.

I think that either Democrat would wipe the floor with a McCain ticket.

3. we will get what we deserve my friend
I personally think America deserves another 8 years of neo-con rule. But perhaps our Karma isn't so bad after all.
Obama has given me some hope.

2. I don't understand the fear of McCain being displayed on DU
I think Clinton will be viewed as much tougher than McCain. Our problem will be the GOP...not McLame. There will be a lot of Good Cop/Bad Cop going on. Don't buy that bullshit from McCain about this being a civil GE...the Nazi Appeasement gaffe already proves that as false.

5. I tried to watch him on SNL ... It was just sort of sad. I almost felt sorry for him.
He tries to be hip and funny, and he's just so kinda ... lame. I was cringing, and I had to turn the channel.

6. I heard yesterday
he can't comb his own hair.

That's sad.

Barack is so sprightly, and he'll be beating the snot out a man who can't comb his own hair.

I wonder what he does about his teeth.

9. McCain really isn't a strong debater either
If you watch him in the 2000 and 2008 debates he came across as not particularly sharp. He has a habit of bringing up his torture and his war experiences as a way to deflect his inability to argue debatable points. I'm sure Obama realizes this though, and won't walk on egg shells when he takes McCain on forcefully when McCain reverts to his 'don't lecture me because I'm a war hero' argument.
