Debating Points of the two main candidates.
The Weak Economy and the Terror War dominate this fall's agenda.
Obama is strong on the economy and weak on foreign policy.
McCain is strong on foreign policy and weak on the economy.
At least that's the basic perception of the public.
A poll today said a 48% to 42% in Obama's favor.
That being said, it must be based on the fact that Obama is perceived to be the better candidate. Barack the Boy Wonder.
McCain is not as good a speaker, have as much charisma, and he does not seem to have as much poise.
A Presidential Campaign is more than just rallies, commercials, and other such silly stuff. It determines a politician's temperament, intelligence, humility, and a basic sense of purpose on how to use the Presidency.
On those points, McCain has the upperhand.
Obama makes the better candidate, while McCain makes the better President.
In essence, if McCain does not know how to advertise himself then Obama wins by default.
Two goals for McCain to talk about: Restore Domestic Tranquility and win the Terror War.
