my point is that he's trying to walk thru this election without facing his toughest critics or answering some very relevant questions. The MSM is doing a poor job with presenting the full view of him as a candidate. Would Hannity be extreme? Probably, but Obama has already said he'll meet with Ahmadinejad and I really can't see that being any worse (especially from someone who hopes to change the US).

Limbaugh, on the other hand, he needs to steer clear of.
I'm not sure about that. Obama has a hard time answering the questions "lobbed" at him over the past week or so. Hannity would play "fast pitch" and I really think it will make it tough on Obama.

I'm with you. I certainly don't consider Hannity to be that intelligent, but I feel the same about Obama. I don't see Obama running circles around anyone. He frequently seems to make little gaffes when he isn't reading from a script.

Agreed, Obama should know the questions going into the show. Sean is a bit repetitive to say the least, so he could have his script mapped out for him before hand, but the uneasy feeling would come from question B, and C on that topic. Obama doesn't seem to do well in open forums when he's doesn't control the enviroment

IMO Obama will win all the debates with McCain, I expect there will be around 3 debates. McCain has too much baggage; the Keating 5, his immigration bill with Senator Kennedy, his age, etc.

McCain actually has experience, that should be a real boost in a debate if McCain has any ability at all.

McCain isn't as telegenic, but he'll handle the debates just fine.
