Oddo on Tapping Into John McCain's Humor
One local Republican isn't worrying too much about John McCain's oratory skills, despite wide-ranging criticism of the nominee's speech last Tuesday, especially compared to Barack Obama's speech.
“I think Obama’s strength is giving the, in front of the teleprompter, soaring rhetoric,” said Republican City Councilman Jimmy Oddo, echoing the conventional wisdom about which debate forum suits each candidate. Oddo noted that Obama historically hasn't performed as well in debates. “Hillary won all but one of them," he said. "The, sort of, give-and-take, the town hall forum, where McCain can tap into his humor, is better for him, instead of behind the podium.”
Oddo also said Michael Bloomberg could work as a moderator (though it's agreed that's pretty unlikely).
“I would love to see that,” he said. “Something that would allow the public to get beyond the canned answers on both sides.” In the debates, Oddo said, candidates “gave the same answers over and over again.”
At the prospect of a different forum for debate, Oddo noted gladly, “Talk about straight talk and change.”

MC-CAIN’S EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCE
Considering his:
• Sacrifice of American Wealth and Blood for the Sole Benefit of Israel
• Amnesty for Illegal Mexicans Aliens Usurping Jobs and Services
• Outsourcing of Jobs and Technology to China
• Early Release from Captivity for Military Secrets
• McCain-Feingold Legislation Suppressing Freedom of Speech
• McCain-Leiberman Control Gun Legislation
• Slander and Ridicule of Huckabee, Romney, and Ron Paul
• Roberts and Falwell, “agents of intolerance”
• Roe vs. Wade Sacrificial Killing of Children
• To “occupy Iraq for 100 years”, “bomb Iran”, and “just keep Afghanistan”.
• Veto of Bush Tax Cuts
• Keating Five Crooks
• Unsolved Recession and Inflation Problem
• Unsolved Heath Care Problem
• Unsolved Social Security Problem
• Long Scandalous, Contentious, and Non-Productive Political Career
Can such an incompetent and dishonest politician; and such a pretentious Christian and patriot, insanely dishonoring Christian culture and Constitution rule, ever be trusted to cherish and honor the American People?
With Leiberman Neo-Liberal Princess Hillary burnt at the stake by the victorious Kennedy Liberals, shall the Reagan Conservatives give this notorious Podhoretz Neo-Conservative puppet, Insane McCain, a date with presidency, or a date with the Republican firing squad?

Again the ratings of a lunatic liberal. These are the kind of people who will vote for Barry "empty suit" Obama.
Talk about not being able to put two sylables together, listen to his speech of last Thursday about his elusive health care proposals. Incredible!
Barack Obama has repeatedly refused John McCain's debate challenges. Obama told McCain that he wants a speed-reading contest instead. "We'll both be given a teleprompter and whoever reads his talking points faster will be the winner," explained Obama. "No contest. You're a lawyer," conceded McCain. "I can't talk out of both sides of my mouth like you can."
