Instead of saying "Uh" while he collects his thoughts, McC says "My friends"

I think McC's bitterness and dirty campaign is much worse that a few "uh's" in a speech.

He doesn't say that while collecting his thoughts. He says it when he is making a point.

That is a funny video. I never viewed him as an eloquent speaker as others have described him.

OTOH, I would not say that the use of "uh" makes him dumb as the title of the video suggests. The polls would not look like this if he were dumb:

http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1848755-2,00.html

"In March, Pew found that 56% of high school--educated white voters see newcomers as threatening, compared with less than a third of those with a college degree. White voters who haven't graduated from college, according to a Pew poll in September, were more than twice as likely to think Obama is Muslim as those who have. And not coincidentally, it is among these less educated white voters that McCain is strongest. Among non-Hispanic whites who have attended graduate school, according to Gallup this month, Obama leads McCain by 13 points. Among those with a high school diploma or less, he trails by 12."

"IMHO he hasn't go after Obama like he should be."


How should he be going after Obama at this point?
