where I differ significantly from many others is, I don't want to see the candidate (any of the 4) "act" the job.

From my corporate days I saw too many "actors"....they usually got hired (not by me or anybody who worked for me).

My preference....show me the real person. Let 'em talk off the cuff. Find out what they are about. Discover their accomplishments. Check out the accomplishments with those affected by them. See what their prior constituency has to say about them (notice how for both McCain and Obama nobody ever talks to the people they supposedly did so much for).
Back in corporate America we did not have the media to distract us with fluff/BS/made up presentations/acting......so we alway were able to get the better candidate.

Too bad politics doesn't work that way.

No acting for me....I want the real deal to evaluate.
