McCain or Obama? My opinion is that Obama will benefit more because,
A.) He looks better, younger, taller, more fit for a job. I know that's not politically correct, but I think physically, at least on a subconsious level for voters, he will seem more "impressive."
B.) He will be very practiced and I think he excels in debate settings. He just seems like he is made for debates, where the key is anticipate every possible question and learn to perfectly deliver answers. I think McCain will try to give more thoughtful answers, but it will be a sort of, "Look, this is how it is and I know what I am saying," attitude from Obama which will make it seem like he's the more assured and confident character.

I basically think McCain relates to people better than Obama, just like Bush related better than Gore or Kerry, but the difference here is that Obama, unlike Gore/Kerry, displays poise, power, and confidence when speaking. People vote for people, not for issues, really.
