After last night, McCain should stop making stump speeches
and adopt a "front porch campaign" like is old friend, and I believe high school classmate, William McKinley did in 1896. Weak and feeble in front of 50 people isn't going to cut it. And you know it's only a matter of time before he does a Bob Dole stage dive off the dais. Brutal.

9. I agree
The more he does the worse he looks.
I can't wait to see the contrast of young vs old when he has to stand across the stage from Obama

10. Maybe he should go Castro on them from now on
nothing but 6 hour non-stop marathon rants. Hey I am full of good ideas and just trying to help.

4. You are being too kind
I think he's worse than that. McCain was never much of an orator but wow, that was sad. Whether it's the age kicking in or Rove ate his brain or what I really feel for him. That was embarrassing.

5. His speech last night was awful. The crowd was confused
about when to clap or not. He stepped on his own lines. He seemed spiteful and out-of-it.

7. He wants to do Town Hall Meetings with Obama cuz he know he sucks behind the podium..and knows Obama
would bring the crowds.

It's a political move. First meeting, he wants on June 12 in NYC @ Federal Hall.

11. I cannot wait for the debates
One word: MINCEMEAT.
In fact, Obama is going to have to take it a little easy on the guy just so as not to come off as a bully.

15. Karl still has the loyalty oath form 2004.
Don't forget army bases. Nothing motivates an audience more than the threat of running 10 miles if they don't clap.

22. According to Josh Marshall, you CAN'T find video of his speeches....
lots of transcripts, etc., on his site, but video of speeches is apparently just about, if not completely, nonexistent.

how bout that?

contrast it with Obama's, inside which you'll find tons and tons of his

how on earth can this be?

here's why....turn off the sound and watch just HOW creepy he is. no wonder they don't want anybody to see his speeches
