...Sen. Obama HIMSELF. The more he just shows-up and TALKS in his highly intelligent, cool, analytical manner, the more difficult a stretch it becomes to believe he has any such thing in mind.

I'm not talking so much about his speeches (he's obviously very good there also), I'm talking primarily about small face-to-face encounters like the last debate. And I'm also not talking primarily about spending a lot of time debunking these attacks directly - just talk the way he normally talks, about the normal policy questions he normally talks about, and the normal personal and family matters that normally come-up.

I know that's a lot of 'normals', but that is actually the point. Sen. Obama DIRECTLY articulating these very ordinary concerns is better than a dozen 'spokesmen' out there every day trying to beat-down this non-existent fire of false and even silly charges.
