It is a given, accepted on faith by the Democrats, that Obama is smarter, more eloquent, and a better debater than any other person. Given the obvious fact that McCain rode him hard and put him up wet, they have to postulate all sorts of explanations for this turn of events. The fact that Obama is just not very good at this stuff will never occur to them, because it contradicts their assumptions.
The light is dawning on the democrat Marbleheads that BHO is not ready for prime time.
