the problem, it seems, is your ilk think debater = orator
No one will disagree that obama can outspeak McCain in a speech. but a debate is not a speech. We have not seen obama in a true debate. Unless, of course, you think obama and hillary masturbating each other about how they both will end the Bush era is a "debate" - in that case, once again, you're the big winner.
Obama makes too many gaffes when trying to speak off the cuff (which is understandable due to his extremely limited experience as a politician), and I foresee one of two things (or more likely both things) happening when they debate:
1. obama will befuddle himself, trip over his words and make yet another remark that offends americans
2. obama will decide to engage in "silly politics"(as obama calls it) and try attacking mccain over petty issues. So much for obama's "candidate of change" rhetoric. this will, once again, turn off americans.
either way, the hope is with these debates we'll finally get to see what Obama is really like. As it is we've only seen relatively short glimpses.
once again, for the ADD kids:
debate != speech. don't try to compare reading off a teleprompter to debating.
