So, I am sitting here listening to Obama and I have got to tell you the fiery angry Obama has arrived! I new it was just a matter of time. He had some good lines about the straight talk express' wheels coming off. But then he went into this anti-Bush tirade and then started going into POLICY?? Of course all I got out of it was that we are giving students money (40k) to "learn a foreign language?" I also learned that we could have invested in our schools instead of Iraq, my wife correctly pointed out that he should ask Oprah about investing in our schools since even she didn't see fit to do so. I also learned that we need to forget about 9-11, rape Exxon-Mobil, and we have to raise taxes because that is the right thing to do. The good news for all of us is that his politics of hope can only go so far before he has to start opening up his mind to go along with his "heart." The McCain campaign needs to constantly start talking about where is the beef? Where are the policies? A good script might go something like this.
"In his years in the Senate, we have know through John McCain's proven leadership where he stands on X-issue. He stands for X. He voted X times for X. But where does Obama stand...will he stand for X, will he save our Nation, do we know where he stands? Do you?"
He has to run these for a solid two months until Obama starts talking...then...then his liberalism will start to show. This has to be about a contrast of issues, if it becomes about age or hope, McCain is done.
