But, Rig...the job of a politician at campaign time IS to get in front of crowds of people and put them to sleep...which he certainly will if he tries to actually explain anything complicated, like economic policy or medical coverage.

So, it's hardly fair of you to expect Barack NOT to. ;-)

I think that's why the Republicans got Sarah Palin. They knew that putting a controversial "babe" who shoots moose in front of the average Joe Public would keep them awake...what the Democrats should have done is got Paris Hilton to run as their VP. If they had, the Republicans would be f*cked. ;-D
