Dissing McCain

The "Dr. No" comment suggests a candidate who is either disoriented, dispirited or just plain disconnected.

    Style over substance?

    "All of this drivel is about style over substance, Obama has soaring rhetoric while McCain is "disoriented.""

    I dunno. I get pretty worked up on the "style vs. substance" issue (I'm very much on the substance side - ever noted how "ugly" European politicians are compared to US ones?) BUT McCain really seems barely functional: he can't deliver a speech, can't answer questions, seems in a state of confusion about key points.

    If he were working with me on some project, I'd be deeply worried. Were he President, I'd be terrified.
