While I agree with your assessment of Obama and his supporters, I think it's pretty clear falcon was referring to a hypothetical Bush v. Obama election, not to the McCain v. Obama election.

I know.....I think it's an immaterial comparison so I didn't entertain the notion. I will admit that Bush is
definitely not a speech-maker. I will also admit Obama is a polished speaker. I"ve seen Bush 'wing it' and
do quite well, and we've all seen Obama talking off the cuff and steppin' on his hoo-hoo in the shower.
Is this fanciful election going to take place in present day America or is it going to take place in the USA of 2004 ? Bush beat Gore and he beat Kerry. America chose Bush not once, but twice, both times we selected him over liberal candidates. How about JFK vs. Obama if we want a war of words between two great speakers ? How about the great Hubert Humphrey against Obama; 2 liberals of fair-to-middlin' speaking talent with the liberal Humphrey looking like a republican conservative in today's republican
party ? Hey...here's a good one....AL Gore vs Obama ! 2 ego maniacs let loose in 'one upmanship' in front of the cameras....
Now to entertain the notion (and light the fuse or 'pull the pin' on this grenade), I will say that if Dubya
were to run for an unprecedented 3rd term against Obama, I believe he'd win. He's still more conservative
than McCain or any of the other republican 'offerings', and from an conservative stance, he can surely destroy a third liberal democrat by carrying disaffected Hillary supporters, the Hispanic and Bible-Belt votes and the military vote (and awayyyyyyyy we go !!!)
