Richard Butterfield the Expert replies: In this case the key persuasion is moving from undecided to decided with a secondary objective of moving soft support to solid support.

I predict that Obama will win on both of these fronts. Biden Palin is too whcky to predict...except that it will be more like American Idol than Presidentail politics.

Laura Lewis-Barr the Expert replies: Obama uses more natural paralanguage elements. His vocal inflection, rate of speech, volume, and pitch feel more spontaneous because he is constantly varying these elements. McCain has problems with a monotone inflection and a slow, unvaried rate of speech. These make McCain seem less knowledgeable or sincere.

Michelle Eppley the Expert replies: Though Obama has gotten a lot of press as being a great speaker, I have not been impressed with his style. He can come across as arrogant or worse, sometimes he seems to have difficulty constructing a sentence when speaking extemporaneously. On the other hand, McCain can come across as a hot-head. I believe the high expectations of Obama will work against him, and that McCain will prevail as the more persuasive candidate, provided he can relax his speaking

Ronald Kaufman the Expert replies: If it's a prepared statement, Obama due to his poise and mastery of presenting. If it's off the cuff, McCain could do better due his years of experience.
