So the Obamanauts are trying to spread the idea that McCain somehow listened to the questions ahead of time at the forum over this weekend.
Guys, both candidates knew the topics ahead of time.
From the McCain campaign's letter to NBC:
2.) In his official correspondence to both campaigns, Pastor Rick Warren provided both candidates with information regarding the topic areas to be covered, which Barack Obama acknowledged during the forum when asked about Pastor Warren's idea of an emergency plan for orphans and Obama said, "I cheated a little bit. I actually looked at this idea ahead of time, and I think it is a great idea;" 3.) John McCain actually requested that he and Barack Obama do the forum together on stage at the same time, making these kinds of after-the-fact complaints moot.
I notice that on DailyKos, even the Kosmonauts are unconvinced McCain cheated.
I'm going to throw in a personal anecdote here. I have run into McCain in our local nursery when he and his wife came up to buy some plants for their home in Sedona (I live in Flagstaff). He was gracious, polite, and knew his stuff when I talked to him. Talking to him about some things changed my mind about some issues, because he knew both sides of the issue.
Obama didn't do as well because he hasn't spent the last 20 years doing this kind of thing. End of story.
