Obama's temperament is gonna help win this thing- Convention speech was right on
McCain's temperament is leaking downward into his talking heads and spokespersons



"Individual responsibility and mutual responsibility - that's the essence of America's promise.

And just as we keep our promise to the next generation here at home, so must we keep America's promise abroad. If John McCain wants to have a debate about who has the temperament, and judgment, to serve as the next Commander-in-Chief, that's a debate I'm ready to have."



Listen to that speech again....... OBAMA NAILED It.

1. I think even the Republicans are recognizing a leader and it ain't McBush.

I've always felt Obama was collected enough to know when holding his opponent's coat and allowing him to implode by his own devices was the right move.

12. I like the ears
they are transparent.

Other candidates have fallen to the side because of their temperament

11. I really think when he comes off with his Obama didn't do this and talking
personal attacking points that his handlers give him he will be destroyed and seen
as the petty small man he is.

McCain doesn't have an original thought, I've said this for years.
He is the real manchurian candidate

13. You would certainly think so,
iching..whoever is playing mccain in the debate practice with Obama better be coming up with a wide varity of personal insults so Obama can reflect them back to the issues!

14. He debated Hillary and the personal attacks
came out in sound bites on Rizo and other crap.

He won those, he's debated one of the best and won.
I'm sure he's sharpened his game and will study those tapes.

I think Hillary should be included his debate practice.
She had some lines that would have killed a lesser candidate.

15. Yeah, that's a good idea
about Hillary..maybe they'll just watch some of those tapes since she's going to be out campaigning for him while he's holed up for a while:)

He's come such a long way since the primary debates! And, he had that abc debate to go through with charlie gibson and Hillary..that should have helped with the preparation.
