um...OF COURSE Obama is going to accept this, and annihilate McCain in the debates
You have to seriously wonder if McCain is up to the job of president if he doesn't even realize that he's nowhere near as good of a debater as Obama...
Maybe he is hoping that people will actually care more about the issues than how well someone packages himself. Imagine that.
Wow, I didn't even read all of HARRY'S outrageously stupid post. Obama is a mediocre debater at best. He never won a debate during the primary season .. he just didn't lose any.
Everyone remember what happened during the primary season when Obama tried to talk about issues for about four minutes? His poll numbers went down and he lost all most all of the next 10 primaries.
Obama is only a good candidate when he is spurting off idealistic platitudes.
Which debate? I remember the one when ABC was asking him the questions about his relations with a terrorist, Rezko the crook, and Reverend Wright and he looked like he had been shot. When it came to issues, Obama would mostly say he agrees with Senator Clinton but make a slight modification in his policy, like talking to rogue leaders without preconditions, which he now denies he ever said.
Perhaps he doesn't know much about the issues and confuses himself when he talks about them.
It would make sense that he'd want a Lincoln-Douglas style debate, as he can spirt off platitudes rather than interacting with the voter and discussing policy, rather than going on a tangent on how historic his campaign is and how only he can bring change to Washington. He says McCain refuses to acknowledge his accomplishments, yet he refuses to acknowledge that McCain actually HAS brought and FOUGHT for CHANGE in the Senate for 24 years ticking off a lot of his party members in the process.
What has Obama done? Vote lockstep with his party which gave him the title of most liberal senator in the US Senate.
