[...] In trying to understand what about Obama appeals so powerfully to his supporters, I’ve decided that some—perhaps even much—of it is style. [...]

Well, maybe the “cool loving” young folks will sleep in, space out, or whatever they historically do on election day.

Maybe McCain will actually trick Obama into answering questions without his written script and show him to be far less than “cool”.

Maybe the American electorate will actually more heavily weigh serious attributes. Oh wait.

I don’t think Obama is cool. Obama does not do so well with women I hear and I can see why. There is something arrogant about him. He does that head cock thing and just reminds you of a guy who thinks he is soooo cool that you should be flattered he would even to talk to you.

The guy is in love with himself.

McCain just strikes me as a man who is comfortable with himself. I don’t know if it is cool or not, but this is the White House we are talking about..not American Idol.

Jimmy, we’re not choosing a Mr. America. We’re choosing a Prom King, obviously.

Are we choosing a Mister America or the President of the United States? I’m disgusted by the fact that star power or charisma can trump substance when selecting a leader to a post of this importance.

Two things to remember:
1. The President’s primary job is to protect this country and as such is the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces as well as the Chief Law Enforcement Officer for this nation.
2. The next President will select two, possibly three Justices for the Supreme Court.

For anyone with the any concern about national defense and having a Supreme Court that doesn’t try to make law, there is only one choice and that is McCain. (Flawed as he may be on some issues.)

And don’t forget that before “Loverboy” swept Tipper up into his arms, she had been, uh, arousing? stimulating? firing up?….well, whatever, she was doing her best bump-and-grind across the dais for the enraptured delegates.

The kiss wasn’t, I think, so much to make him seem more human as to assure the nation that Gore was a one-woman kind of guy, and that the bimbo eruptions over the past eight years would no longer be a White House staple.

What he and Tipper and those who choreographed the “Never-ending Smooch” failed to grasp is that it wasn’t just fidelity that millions of Americans wanted to see making a return to 1600, it was dignity. The dignity of presidents and first ladies that treated the office, the national residence, those sworn to protect them, and the voters with respect. Not the kind of people that let their well-heeled supporters stay over and jump up and down on the bed in the Lincoln Bedroom as if it were an eight-year-old’s first slumber party. Not the kind of people who ruined reputations with unwarranted investigations, in order to appear justified in replacing longstanding employees with their cronies. And not the kind of people that got caught in a national lie and responded by blaming others for making a fuss over it.

my boss always wants to do a fist pump.. I think it’s really lame gesture.

I’m trying to figure out why Megan McArdle and Ann Althouse–two intelligent, non-left bloggers–came out for Obama earlier in the year and may still be with him.

Yeah, I get that Obama has an intriguing, even sexy appeal, but unless one is committed to the left, Obama’s negatives in terms of lacking experience and accomplishments rack up fast and high when interviewing for the most powerful job on the planet.

And that’s before you even get to the little black power church in the dale he’d been attending for 20 years.

I’m with Douglas. The kiss was stomach-turning.
The fist-bump was admittedly cool, if off-putting.
