Question for McCain: Food Prices  —  While waiting for the South Dakota polls to close and Obama to be declared the nominee, I'm watching McCain's speech.  I don't think I realized before just how awful a speaker he is.  It's hard to listen to what he's saying because his style of reading the teleprompter is so distracting.
