I just realized how Obama is doing so well in these debates with out a teleprompter. He's simply listening to McCain's answer, writing it down, and paraphrasing it back. If you listen to questions Obama has to answer first he kind of wanders aimlessly. The questions Obama gets to answer second, he is quite eloquent, only problem is Obama says the exact same thing McCain has just said.
