On July 27, 2004 I sat in The Fleet Center and watched State Senator Barack Obama give his 16 minute Keynote Address at The Democratic Convention in Boston.

Here is a photo from last week's live appearance of Maroon 5, stopping by the KTLK Studios in Burbank, Ca.

What John McBush Needs To Do To Win Tonight's Debate

On September 25, in the Rayburn House Office Building, Dennis Kucinich bravely called and chaired one of the most important hearings the Government Oversight Committee has ever held.  And, not surprisingly, few Congresspersons attended and very little media covered it.  

It is an issue as big as the Wall Street collapse, as harmful to our country as Iraq and as significant, in many ways, as our upcoming election.  The issue, bottom line, is that we are conducting the largest public health experiment in the history of medical science on almost every adult and, more importantly, almost every child in the country . . . and no one seems to care.  

Except Dr. George Carlo.  From 1993 - 1999 he chaired the cell phone industry's biggest, "definitive" study that was to declare that the new cell phone technology was safe.  When Dr. Carlo told the industry that cell phones were NOT safe, he was offered an additional $500,000 per year to keep his position, on condition that he NOT go public with his findings.  He told them to go F themselves and has, with mainly his own money, been continuing his research.

Here's the takeaway from last week’s vice presidential debate and the scariest messaging on Sarah Palin.

Republicans are orgasmic. They’re charming Sarah, the one that seduced the nation from the podium in St. Paul has returned! The fumbling, uncertain but filled with bravado Sarah from the Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric interviews is gone! No more embarrassment. No more holding one's breath. Onward to November fourth!

Okay. It's true. She was very good in her debate with Joe Biden. Strong, confident, folksy, in control. So in control she even had the chutzpah to dictate the terms of the debate--"I'm not going to answer the questions the way you or the moderator want." So in control she confidently turned almost every question into an opportunity for a McCain-Palin infomercial.

But there is a downside to all of this Republican euphoria.

I've coached many politicians in debate prep. It's an exercise in total immersion. To produce 90 minutes of great debate takes weeks of planning, days of practice, a crush of mind power from campaign managers, savvy public relations experts, policy experts from many arenas and the best speech writers in the party. It also takes time for the candidate to exercise, rest, maybe get a massage and get into "the zone."

Given all of this, the former beauty pageant pro will always be impressive. She is a polished performer.

But, this is crazy. No politician has this kind of luxury on a regular basis and America will not be able to stop, to suspend its national life, while vice president, or president, Palin gets her performance together.
