The video below is the perfect example of why John McCain suggested that he and Barack Obama do townhall meetings together. No teleprompters, no prepared speeches, but just speaking.

Obama: What they'll say is, "Well it costs too much money," but you know what? It would cost, about... It -- it -- it would cost about the same as what we would spend... It... Over the course of 10 years it would cost what it would costs us... (nervous laugh) All right. Okay. We're going to... It... It would cost us about the same as it would cost for about -- hold on one second. I can't hear myself. But I'm glad you're fired up, though. I'm glad.
If John McCain had done this, everyone would be pointing to his age, yet for Barack Obama, it is just fatigue...he is tired and as he states, "I haven't had much sleep in the last 48 hours."
Yes.....we can just imagine him answering that 3 am call, can't we?
On a side note, The Hill reports that Obama is expecting a 100 million in campaign fundraising for June.... anyone remember what happened to that guy that broke all sorts of fundraising records not long ago.....thats right, his name was Ron Paul and despite all the money and spammers in every comment section that dared write his name, he got a whole 29 delegates in his race for obscurity.
Money is not votes. Money is a distraction from the fact that only votes elect a president. If the money does not translate into votes, it is nothing but paper.
