All About McCain

[Alex]

I disagree. McCain is better at giving his stump speech without a teleprompter.

But at this stage we've all made up our minds and read everything so as to reinforce what we already think? If you like Obama, slow answers and stuttering when answering questions is a sign of thoughtfulness and giving consideration to what he is about to say. If you don't like him it is a sign of bumbling and confusion.

If you like McCain his starting answers with jokes is a sign of wit and playfulness and if you don't it is a sign he doesn't take things seriously and is trying to deflect from the shallowness of his consideration.

I'm just still at the stage that more than anything I fear even four years (or the horror of eight) of listening to him say "my friends" every 4.3 seconds and the even more horrible prospect of hearing every two-bit impersonator doing it. I don't hate him, I just don't like him; he is then further penalized for being a member of the party that should be ejected from the game for too many fouls.
