Who are McCain's campaign strategists? whoever they are, they should be lined up against a wall, and shot by a firing squad at dawn tomorrow. McCain is doing NOTHING to counter Obama's fecklessness during this financial crisis. He didn't bring up Obama's lucrative ties to Fannie Mae in the debate, nor his liberal tax schemes. Why? Is it his age? Did he just forget? McCain is simply being too nice to Obama, and it doesn't work for him. Perhaps he feels a civil tone is what people want - WRONG! People are yearning for strength in their next leader. Not some some old geezer with bad teeth grimmacing a crusty smile in a deathly pale, skeletal visage! I'm sorry to attack poor sen. McCain, but I am getting frustrated as things slowly go south for him and the GOP.
By contrast, Obama seems like he is just patronizing an old man. He called him by his first name throughout the debate (McCain should have stopped him mid-sentence, and said, "It's SENATOR McCain to you, pal!" Obama never called Sen. Clinton "Hillary"!) Obama's arrogance is working this time because it makes him appear cool under pressure, and in total control. McCain looked like he couldn't divert from his talking points to save his life. WAKE UP, MAN! you've been in the senate for 22 years! You're supposed to run rings around this novice!
And now, the whole financial debacle is blowing up in McCain's face, as he keeps straining to provide leadership, but was embarrassing today when he had to backtrack after proclaiming that he had helped broker a deal, and then it turned out there wasn't a deal! He just looked obviously opportunistic.
and now, Thursday, it's the debate - Palin vs. Biden. Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse...
