Oh for the love of Pete!
So far, it hasn't been Obama himself who has made this accusation, but he sure isn't stopping his staff from perpetuating this rumor.
So is that how he rolls? When someone else who gets the same questions seems to do better than he does in front of the same audience, he just MUST have cheated. "The One" could not POSSIBLY fail to impress or just not do that well *in that forum,* no of course not.
What a bunch of whiners! McCain has been running for President for what, like 20 years? His stump speeches are pretty consistent and with few exceptions, his anecdotes haven't changed that much. Just b/c he was able to capitalize on that and come off better doesn't mean he cheated, maybe he just WON!
But I can see it now.......If Obama loses this election, it will only be b/c those nasty evil sneaky corrupt republicans STOLE IT FROM HIM
What-ever.
I think McCain should tell Obama he'll do it again! A more neutral audience perhaps, mix of both parties, but not invited by either candidate, maybe a random drawing or something, same deal with the same questions for each guy, and this time they can literally create the "cone of silence" like on those game shows and they can have cameras around recording that the person who's in there is in there. And maybe McCain can go first too.
But this won't happen, neither will any Town Hall meetings b/c this "cheating" story is just the excuse for why he won't be doing those. The truth is, without a teleprompter, Obama's inexperience shows too much.
