great post. Check out mccain’s stump speech today at the thread above. McCain is a little bit more aggressive in his attacks on 0bama. I think alot of this information is being saved for the debates. 0bama is not quick on his feet, and alot of this information will absolutely slam him to the floor. McCain is not the greatest orator, but I think we will be pleasantly surprised at his performance in the debates.
Saving it for the debates, eh?
I hope you are right.
But I have difficulty with that because I don’t think purposefully making himself look foolish and flat-footed in the meantime is a sensible strategy. McCain let 0bama take the lead in the crucial first 3 days when opinions are solidified. McCain’s campaign has been blowing it now ever since they got over confident with their successful lipstick ad.
There is time for McCain to recover on the economy, but I don’t think it will ever be 100%. He’s left far too bad of an impression. He is far more expert than 0bama on these very issues. It is not unfamiliar territory for him. He was a soothsayer on Fanny and Freddy for years. He saw all of this coming. So why does his campaign have him acting like he’s behind the curve? Why?
Why is he not talking to audiences about exactly what happened inside government, the Fed, and the lending institutions to lead to this collapse? Why is he just punting and running to the easy answer that it is because of ‘greedy’ Wall Street?
I hope you are right about the debates, but I cannot agree with you on the nation that perhaps McCain is saving it all up for then. I just hope he manages to pull it together and start getting serious with the ‘Straight Talk’ by then.
Straight Talk is what we need from him right now, even it that means telling it straight about some of his buddies across the aisle in congress.
