If you want to read a well-written article by a newsman who was there about Sen. Obama's speech in St. Paul last night, here is the address:

Obama's "oratory skills" are only a reflection of his ability to read a teleprompter well. Get him off the teleprompter and...well, let's just say I doubt he will engage McCain in many town hall debates. He simply can not put coherent thoughts together. He can only give his sermon style teleprompter rants with kool aid drinking crowds.
Without teleprompter uh oh..
"Right now Obama's riding on a wing and a prayer, riding on pure image, the messiah business, but he has five months to go with this stuff. Let me just give you an illustration. This is audio from last Thursday in Bristol, Virginia, at a campaign event. I've constantly noted, ladies and gentlemen, you take the prompter and the written speeches away from Barak Obama and you have nothing. You have nothing like the guy with the soaring rhetoric and the inspiring and sermon-like quality. You have nothing like that, and this is why I don't think Obama will do as many of these town hall meetings with McCain as his camp is saying. In fact, Bloomberg in New York got together with ABC and they offered the Federal Hall in New York for the first of these this coming Thursday night with ABC telecasting it. And both campaigns turned it down. Both campaigns turned it down. The McCain camp said, (doing McCain impression) "No, not one network. Every network or I don't do it." They didn't want to give it to one particular network, and Obama, his comfort level is doing things on CNN and MSNBC. So anyway, you listen to this. This is last Thursday in Bristol, Virginia, and this is Obama talking about Iraq. I just want to preference this by telling you, if this were George Bush that you were listening to, this would have been commented on since it happened. You would have had people all over the country saying, "Gosh, can't we get a guy that can talk? Can't we get a guy who can put two thoughts together?" Listen to this. This is Obama." - -
