The Gap Between John McCain and Obama is Widening
Saturday, August 30th, 2008
A couple days ago, a key legislative aid for a local congressman and I were discussing the upcoming Presidential Election. We were both lamenting that if John McCain continued to kick in the teeth of the conservatives, he was going to lose this election for sure. And the two of us were probably not going to vote for a president at all.
It is just amazing that McCain has been given this election on a silver platter and he has done nothing to take advantagage of it. While Obama is strutting around like some love child messiah, McCain could blow the whole facade with just two clear sentences of substance. Instead, he uses his every opportunity to take another swipe at his base. And in fact, that almost appears what he meant to do when he announced Sarah Palin as his running mate. He mentioned all the wrong, polically correct reasons why he chose her - as if to diss the conservatives, once again, and appeal instead to the disenfranchised Hillary groupies.
