Coach Clark expressed his hope that the manner of the defeat would kick his team into gear heading into Saturday’s matchup. “I don’t think you can have any greater motivation going into our Ivy League season,” Clark said. “We believe we are a team that?...

But while mocking his opponent on a few occasions, which reflected his acute disrespect for Obama, he did so in an insufficiently sharp and detailed manner - and unevenly worked elements of his rival's record into his attacks. Still he was utterly confident about his own experience, knowledge, and policies, even when tripped by his own tongue and distracted by the strains of debate practice. The main problem: Obama's obvious preparation and sharp answers contradicted McCain...
