19. It's just a few vocal pauses.
Edited on Thu Feb-28-08 05:47 PM by backscatter712
It's a minor, minor critique I have of Obama's debating style.

It's better to pause and leave a couple seconds of silence than to go "Um, Uh."

Still, when he does say what he has to say, I have to conclude he's a debating and speaking genius.

Every time Hillary's gone against Obama with his black belt in verbal jiu jitsu, she gets thrown. Every time.

And McCain likely won't fare much better.

He does a hell of a lot better than you or I would do in the spotlight, I'll tell you that.
