| Sansui said: Why are debates the one thing that should be above campaign strategy? Shouldn't telling the truth be the one thing above strategy? (that goes for both sides, but particularly McCain). And I know you didn't just accuse Obama of sucking at speaking and thinking? Obama's the most educated man in any of these campaigns |
No I accused Bush of sucking at speaking. That's why Bush limited the debates.
I think Obama limited the debates because not many people know what he's about. Ask people what his policies are and they'll give you different answers colored on what they want... and not really based on what he's said.
The Debates will flesh out Obama's actual plans... and people will know what he's about more. He may lose voters by this who find out he doesn't quite support what they think he does. I know I thought he stood for a whole other list of things when I listened to him in the primaries... and now to hear his positions now. Night and Day from the primaries. Had I known, i'd of voted Hilary.
That and the other political reasons of course.
