Well, predictably, after John McCain's performance on Saturday fit the audience he was performing for, Barry's people are bitching that he might not have really been in the 'cone of silence' that Pastor Rick said he was in.Some are alleging that Johnboy cheated and heard the questions beforehand.
This is silly on a handful of levels. First of all, it seems unlikely to me that this kind of cheating was going on. Second, even if he did, were the questions that were going to be asked by this preacher all that difficult to predict? And third, even if McCain had heard Barry's performance beforehand, it would not change the poor performance of the Democrat.
Each of them, frankly, seemed to be acting and answering in character.
McCain had a lot of short, humorous and to-the-point answers. He probably oversimplified too much and would have been well-advised to stifle a few of his jokes (notably the one where he defined what 'rich' is), but it was vintage McCain...love it or leave it.
Likewise, Barack answered with his trademark professorial stutter, giving far more complete and nuanced explanations than the Republican.
