1. I can't tell - is this real? Or somebody's idea of a joke.

3. Looks real to me, it would be nearly impossible to fake something like that
John McCain may well be the worst speaker who has ran for President in the modern era, I really think he is even worse than Bush in that regard and that is saying a lot. If he thinks this is going to win people over it shows how out of touch he is.

5. Worse Than Bob Dole
I saw Bob Dole give a speech in 96 and he was miserable. Downright brutal. Even Bob Dole would have to admit Bob Dole was bad. I think it's a toss up between those two.

I know he is a sacred here but Al Gore was pretty bad to. I saw him in 92, Tipper did his warm up and lit up the house and Al pretty much shut it down when he started to talk. Obama is a good speaker as long as he stays on script but when he starts to freelance he gets in trouble.

All that said McCain is miserable and needs to just go away.

6. Gore can be a great speaker at times, but he can be very bland at other times
Gore is great when he is speaking about something he is passionate about, he is not so great at giving the standard stump speech. If you watch an Inconvenient Truth or one of the speeches he gave to MoveOn a couple of years back he is a very powerful speaker, but we did not see that kind of passion during his campaign. He was certainly a hell of a lot better than McCain though.

Dole was a crappy speaker as you suggest, but I think McCain is even worse than him. Did you see McCain's response to the Viagra vs. birth control question the other day? It was absolutely embarrassing. To think that such a person could get the Presidential nomination of a major party is just surreal.

9. I had no idea he was this bizarre. You couldn't make this stuff up and get away with it.

4. He's preaching to the choir
I don't see many WWE fans voting for Obama or voting at all.

7. I don't see many WWE fans voting period. I think that crowd tends to be pretty apathetic.
Of the ones that do vote however, I think Obama would take a fair number of them as they tend to be a younger audience and Obama does very well with young people. The older fans he would not do so well with, but again most of them probably won't vote anyways.

11. Clinton and Obama each did one too.
Both equally as bad.
