Obama knocks on doors while Gramm-pa McCain wanders aimlessly

By GottaLaff

Today's Do's and Do Not's. Do NOT wander aimlessly during presidential debates:

Top national debate coaches say John McCain needs to make vast improvements if he wants to best Barack Obama in the final presidential debate on Wednesday — and based on his performance in the two debates held so far, they’re skeptical that the old dog is willing to learn any new tricks.

While Obama appeared “steady and consistent” in their encounters, McCain seemed “aimless,” said Emory University debate coach Melissa Maxy Wade.

Reaction polls taken during and immediately after both debates showed that respondents in general, and undecided voters in particular, favored Obama.

“Nobody who is coaching McCain would tell him to say ‘my friends,’” said pollster and former national debate champ Matt Towery. “It looks like John McCain is not receiving any professional training from coaches.” [...] “It was crazy, he was walking around aimlessly,” [Wake Forest debate coach Allan] Louden said.

DO show voters that you care for and respect them by knocking on doors personally:

As Mr. Obama arrived in northern Ohio to begin preparing for his third debate with Senator John McCain later this week, he made a detour to the Lincoln Green [Ohio] neighborhood of Holland for nearly an hour of impromptu door-to-door campaigning.

Aimless wandering v. unfaltering dedication. Gramm-pa McCain v. Barack Obama.
