Debate?
I am amazed by McCain’s latest attacks on Obama. They seem to rest on the idea that Obama is popular and is promising change. Remind me why to vote against him…
The latest batch of misjudged attempts at attacks have been striking in their total lack of constructive message. McCain is, effectively, spending huge sums of money on adverts that argue “Obama believes the next President can do some good, so he wants to be President. Vote for McCain!” Hilarious. Amazingly, though, some appear taken in by that vacuous message.
Obama’s response is fair and just.
No surprise those Tories are praising McCain’s dumb adverts - remember “New Labour, New Danger”? And those despicable ads they put up in 2005? (”It’s not racist to…” etc etc)
The gulf between Obama’s understanding of how to communicate his message using video media and McCain’s is astonishing! Even Karl “Darth Vader” Rove probably thinks the RNC are hopelessly incompetent at attacking Obama - then again, polls seem to suggest both candidates are drawing level, although I think it’s got a lot more to do with Obama’s apparent deceleration in terms of inspirational activity and increasing hesitancy, than anything his hapless, computer-illiterate opponent can muster.
I predict Obama will pick up speed again towards November, and will lay the smack down on McCain much closer to Election Day.
