Obama sits calmly and listens to a question and then responds in a well thought out narrative: not a soundbite.
He is studious, assured, confident, assertive and clear. The journalist on the other side of him can do nothing to sway him because he knows what he is talking about and is confident in his delivery.
McCain on the other hand?...
After the jump
The day I read the story in a British newspaper about how John McCain left his first wife, and weeks later in the LA Times, did it for me: i ceased to perceive McCain as authentic.
Since then my position against him has hardened.
McCain seems to be discombobulating right before our eyes with the happy support of the 4th Estate.
Last week when I saw him standing in front of a display of cheese really fully did it for me. He is just too desparate to be taken seriously. Yet, we are told by his enablers (the media) that we really need to know more about his opponent.
Now let me get this straight: the new guy is running a well-organized and literate campaign while McCain can hardly make sense from one moment to the next; the new guy is appearing Presidential and winning over foreign leaders with his classy approach; McCain and his cohorts (the media and RNC) whine, bitch and moan because he is too classy; the new guy stands in front 200,000 and articulates a vision for our world going forward; McCain complains he is not saying the surge worked; the new guy says in so many words the surge worked amongst other things; McCain and his enablers push for him to say directly that
the.
surge.
worked.
I do not know about you but after Mr. O shot that 3 pointer on the first leg of his tour and later that week McCain cancelled his oil rig debut because of the storm and an oil spill I knew finally that McCain's campaign had jumped the shark. Sorry my friend there is no going back.
Obama is now winning on the Foreign Policy and McCain knows it. He is left to react and bemoan his loss of his one winning issue.
Obama has just cleared and now he just needs to hold.
I wonder if McCain's prayer was stolen from the wall what it would have said. I am sure it would not ask for his sins to be forgiven. What do you think?
The enablers are all running scared: as they should.
UPDATE: just added poll thanx to suggestion from apip0115. thanx for suggestion.
