People thought Reagan was kooky and after the debates, this was debunked. It is the same thing that is going to happen this cycle. Obama is 6'2" and McCain is 5'7" So, with the height and stature, Obama is going to look presidential. Then, when they both have to talk, Obama is going to blow McCain out of the water. Look at every showing of McCain, he is holding an index card of notes. He won't have that, or anybody else talking into his ear. He will be alone for the whole world to see. There is going to be a public massacre during that first debate.

Agreed. The debates should "seal the deal" for Obama. I'm counting on the American people to use their brains this time...

Obama survived Hillary and Edwards tag-teaming him during the debates, McCain will be no challenge. I hope.

You guys know the height thing wont matter right? None of the 3 debates are podium debates.

The first and third are a sit down at table and the middle one is a town hall debate where they both walk around the whole time.

Eh, that's probably for the best, the last thing you want is to get in a forceful debate and look like you're towering. Especially since the other camp is trying to play up the whole elitist, uppity angle.

I think it's hilarious that conventional wisdom has always been that taller presidents have an advantage in front of a camera.

However, now that an uppity negro is running for president, being tall makes you look too...well...uppity.

Pardon me guys, but I remember a while back someone mentioning that Obama is considering someone controversial on his VP list.

I don't exactly remember the name, but I remember someone highlighting that this person voted for the bankruptcy laws that got pushed out there by the republicans.

Anyone remember who? As well as maybe a link to their political history?

I appreciate kindly.

Once again, what are you talking about?

There's nothing in the constitution that requires or regulates political parties or presidential debates.

You and I could have a debate, label it as a presidential debate and air it on tv if we wanted to.

Okay, but you wouldn't be presidential candidates, and at this point, neither would Obama and McCain.

Ouch at that NYT editorial.

The phrase dealing the race card “from the bottom of the deck” entered the national lexicon during the O.J. Simpson saga. Robert Shapiro, one of Mr. Simpson’s lawyers, famously declared of himself, Johnny Cochran and the rest of the Simpson defense team, “Not only did we play the race card, we dealt it from the bottom of the deck.”

Didn't remember that, but wonder if that's what they were aiming for. I wonnder if we're going to end up with a "hands" ad by the end of this.:lol

Rachel actually attacked the "presumptuous" meme. Pointed out that McCain isn't called presumptuous for advertising himself as President McCain or giving a Weekly Radio address. And then tied that into why people see racial tones there.

All this from the candidate who claims we have won in Iraq and, according to CNN's Late Edition on Sunday, knows how to find Bin Laden, a secret he doesn't care to share with the current administration. That's presumptuous.
