I heard a liberal female reporter / comentator on CNN say that after Obama's speech she was talking to the maid cleaning her hotel room and the woman said that she had been a big Obama supporter but was disappointed because in the speech he attacked McCain and the Republicans in the same way politicans always have and he had promised change. Now she was having doubts. I found that astonishing and evidence that while many people were sucked in by the spectacle and ejoyed the great speech and visuals when it comes down to evaluating him for President that may not matter that much.
The town hall's will be interesting because while Obama is a master at the prepared speech with a teleprompter he hems and haws and takes forever to choose his words in extemporaneous situations while McCain answers firmly and quickly. It almost looks like Obama is the old guy in those situations and McCain is the younger one with a sharper mind.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
