I'm kind of torn atm, I'd like to see the results of the debates or at least one of them.
I think the town hall debates heavily favor McCain which is why you see him asking for 10 and Obama's camp shooting for fewer despite his home town paper saying they should do 20. Where I'm really torn is that I think any close debate is going to be given to Obama just based on the media love fest thats gone on so far.
I'm kind of surprised nobody has mentioned the speaking similarity between Obama and Bush actually. I've found it kind of funny throughout the process that Bush was slammed for his stuttering and inability to find words when he wasn't speaking from a teleprompter and Obama has the exact same issue only worse...but I haven't seen or heard anyone mention it (and I expect people to erupt in "oh em gee! w tee eff!" because I said so, but its 100% true I've noticed it for months and months now..it makes me cringe the same as when Bush does it). He makes up for it quite a bit when he is on a teleprompter though, in those situations he is a very good speaker.
Also I think its fair to point out that Obama has a very unknown background and revelations are not only possible...but likely. Those sorts of things can have profound impacts on the race both positively and negatively (sometimes they backfire).
Either way there are far too many unknowns for me to be taking a shot at this now. The VP choices alone can reshape the race substantially.
