McCain's ability to stay on topic and answer questions quickly and concisely really surprised me at the Saddleback Church the other night, now I think I know why he was so well prepared.

Did McCain Cheat At Saddleback?

On Meet the Press yesterday, NBC's Andrea Mitchell stated, "The Obama people must feel that he didn't do quite as well as they might have wanted to in that context, because what they are putting out privately is that McCain may not have been in the cone of silence and may have had some ability to overhear what the questions were to Obama. He seemed so well-prepared."

McCain, who was supposed to be in a "cone of silence," while Obama was being questioned by Rev. Rick Warren, was not where Warren thought he was and "wasn't in a cone of silence," according to the New York Times.

Well we know that he was lieing when he said, “I was trying to hear through the wall.”

Mr. Warren, the pastor of Saddleback, had assured the audience while he was interviewing Mr. Obama that “we have safely placed Senator McCain in a cone of silence” and that he could not hear the questions.

After Mr. Obama’s interview, he was joined briefly by Mr. McCain, and the candidates shook hands and embraced.

Mr. Warren started by asking Mr. McCain, “Now, my first question: Was the cone of silence comfortable that you were in just now?”

Mr. McCain deadpanned, “I was trying to hear through the wall.”
