Obama has a massive advantage over McCain ... Height advantage, that is.

[Arugula Latte]

I didn't realize until today that John McCain is only ... Five Feet SEVEN Inches!

Obama is about 6'2".

Can you imagine them standing next to each other in a debate, with the young and attractive Obama towering over the diminutive and unattractive McCain?

Yes, that is superficial stuff, but nobody ever accused the American public of overlooking such factors.

12. seriously- watch the camera angles

depending on the "moderators"

they'll shoot mccain in the foreground whenever possible

they may shoot him thru a peach or rose filter too, just to make him look less dead

[Arugula Latte]
