It's getting interesting! Did anyone watch CNN last night? Obama was in Madison and gave a very inspiring speech. They cut away to McCain's speech. If paired against each other, Obama comes out way ahead. He has a speaking style that is much better and more dynamic than McCain. That will come in handy. Hillary is good, but has too much substance. Sad, but true. Bush proved that - Americans want tag lines - something easy to get their arms around. Hillary uses too many words, McCain is too monotone.

Also, the Kennedy TV experience showed that the American people perceive looks/style with competence. Unfortunately Bush proved what a faulty plan that is. However, Americans have not changed much. Can Obama win based on presence alone?

Stay tuned!
