is out of ideas, they fall back on what is comfortable to them. rMoney used this strategy with Ted Kennedy and it was a failure. For him to try it during the debate means it has worked enough for him at times to think it was a good idea. To me, that speaks volumes on his leadership style.

He takes other people's ideas and passes them off as his own and believes no one will notice. What he fails to recognize is people do notice but because of who he is, they don't bring that to his attention.


If he thought that by agreeing with Obama he could get indepent voters, he was sadly mistaken. What it showed is that he is willing to throw away his positions for personal. How well will that work when negotiating with China? Most of all it showed he was weak, if he can't stand and fight for what he believes in, he will be begging on his knees. Americans want a negotiator, not a beggar. Even bush with his 'with us or against us' public attitude is more preferable to the indies and undecided voter.
