I don't agree with him but he has an energy and charisma about him - he'd be tough to beat.
While obama has youth, energy and "hope" going for him. That is it.
No experience in difficult decision making.
Answered "present" in 100 plus calls for a vote when he was in the Illinois senate. Wonder why.
Bad positioning on the WOT.
Obama waffled on when we should leave Iraq etc.
McCain, the loose cannon, has age against him and a bunch of stupid initiatives which he co-sponsored.
His support of the military and understanding of the WOT gives him a clear edge over obama.
While I am not a McCainiac, he is the best choice of the three candidates (2 dem and him) given the western world issue of terror.
Both clinton and obama need to pick a military guy as their VP. My guess is that one will and one won't. The one who hints their veep choice will beat out the other to face McCain or Romney (if he is really lucky) next week.
McCain needs a youthful, but experienced person as his veep. Not Guiliani, Huckabee, Lieberman or Feingold. I don't know who his close friends are except for Lindsay Graham.
The most thing about McCain is that he wasn't going anywhere; without money, until the Bhutto assination in Pakistan. After that event, his stock went up big time. Maybe the public is more concerned abaout terror than the media cares to admit
I will probably be completely wrong about all of this, but it was fun. :-) |
