Not so great expectations

By Ken Herman | Thursday, September 25, 2008, 11:01 AM

On Wednesday, about an hour before John McCain called for postponement of the Friday debate, his campaign’s political director Mike DuHaime said this at a lunch with Washington reporters:

“We know Senator Obama is a phenomenal debater. I mean he is somebody who is one of the most gifted orators that we’ve seen. We understand he is very good at this. He is good at speaking. He is somebody who speaks very well. So we know that. Senator McCain does not have that same reputation as a debater, but I think his message will come across as somebody who is sincere and certainly has, I would say, a greater knowledge of the issues and I think that will come across.”
