The problem he has is that he is hardly at his best in debates. What his admirers take to be thoughtfulness, the doubters will probably see as hesitation and uncertainty. Meanwhile, McCain relishes town hall meetings and, when he isn't grimacing like a cartoon pirate, can be quite effective in formal debate formats. If the election turns on a particular moment in one of the debates or town hall meetings, McCain is just as likely to be the winner of that exchange. Sent at: 2008 12 02
