Default Obama, McCain Prepare for Debate
Quote:
Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain will spend much of this week preparing for their first debate on Friday night.

The Wall Street Journal notes McCain "will spar this week in mock debates" with former Maryland lieutenant governor Michael Steele who will play Obama "and use many of his speaking patterns, tactics and body language." Obama "will practice with Greg Craig, a Washington lawyer and former official in the Clinton administration who is one of his few gray-haired advisers."

On the day of the debate, McCain "will host a town-hall event and take a short nap" while Obama "will work out or shoot hoops.
Obama, McCain Prepare for Debate -- Political Wire

I heard this on the radio early this morning. The hosts were criticizing the (I thought it was originally NYT?) for putting it that way. The hoops nap sentence.

It wouldn't have taken this long had Obama agreed to the townhall meetings McCain requested...

Maybe somebody's a little scared to work without a teleprompter...

Obama's teleprompter hits the trail

It appears Barack Obama's teleprompter is hitting the campaign trail.

The Democratic presidential nominee has never tried to hide the fact he delivers speeches off the device, though normally he doesn't use one at standard campaign rallies and town hall events.

But the Illinois senator used a teleprompter at both his Colorado events Monday — making for a particularly peculiar scene in Pueblo, where the prompter was set up in the middle of what is normally a rodeo ring.
