If John McCain could afford to show by 2-hour commercial the contrast between himself and Barack Obama that emerged tonight at Rick Warren's "Civil Forum on the Presidency," he would win this election in a landslide! McCain was that strong and Obama was that weak.
If nothing else, Obama and the Democrats know that it will not be a cakewalk to the White House. On question after question, the contrast between McCain and Obama was beyond stark -- Obama slow, nuanced, halting in his answers, while John McCain was the picture of a leader - direct, concise, and bold. As we have said before here, when Obama is not behind a teleprompter giving a command performance at a rally, he is not a formidable candidate. John McCain can think on his feet, and he is not afraid to tell Americans what he believes. After seeing tonight's performances, we know why the Obama Campaign has been unwilling to join John McCain for Town Hall Meetings across America.
In summary, this night was beyond a "home run" for John McCain. He was in another universe compared to Barack Obama.
I'd like him better if he would stop using MoveOn talking points to bash the companies that are supporting so many 401Ks and saving so many lives.
Watch the rerun on Fox, now. Hopefully, it’ll play more over the weekend on Fox and other channels.
Is McCain going to stream this on his website?
He should use clips for commercials, then direct people to the full debate, should they be so inclined.
I like.
Libs find it so unfair that, even given equal opportunity, there are never equal outcomes.
I read on another thread here earlier that someone had leaked that Obama had gotten the questions ahead of time??
i thought he was brilliant to answer this way... especially when he answered the question about his greatest moral failure... he was honest and to the point... and then he quickly went on to the next question...
What can I say about obamawama, i guess EMPTY SUIT says it all.
well, Phelps winning all those gold medals just isn’t FAIR !!!

Correct on the teleprompter weakness. What you have to understand is that this guy just came out of the Illinois state-house just a couple of years ago, and is still a good fifteen years away from McCains maturity in a crowd like this.
The debates are going to be a cake-walk. McCain could gulp down half-a-bottle of whiskey and still whoop Obama with little effort. If I were Obama....I’d limit myself to one debate and be happy with the results of that.
I agree: it’s EXCELLENT!!
I don't go there. I just wait for someone on here to spill the beans!
My BP can't handle it. ;-)
