It wouldn’t have been terribly hard to predict that the economic crisis (on top of recent history’s most unpopular president) would result in Obama widening his lead in national polls.
That was the last month. This month, the scenario is less obvious.
Will the McCain camp’s desperate, soul-selling, racist and nationally depressing personal attacks results in the polls tightening back up (following a historical trend)? Or have people had enough? Will independent voters say enough is enough and reject personal attacks in an age of increasingly ineffective government when the times call for the opposite?
In a campaign left with little else but desperate and pathetic character attacks, Team McCain has timed their affront on Obama as terribly as possible.
The market collapsed Monday morning as the world economies expressed their level of faith in the American government to handle this crisis. Not too many folks are going to want to read some hogwash about William Ayers or Rezco or any of the character assassination in this environment.
When a GOP presidential campaign team can’t even execute their personal attacks effectively, you know they really suck.
Lot of record sales at stake here. He’s putting his money where his mouth is. He’s The Boss for a reason. Like my wife says, “Let’s hope Obama is worthy of that speech.” Rock on.
Andrew Sullivan asks the question that has caused me to refill every prescription I’ve ever had:
There is something nauseating about elitists’ claiming to know how real people feel, rather than simply saying what they both know: this joke of a candidate is utterly unqualified to be secretary of the interior, let alone president of the United States. They … know that. But they can’t say it. Why?
If you’re not cynical in this environment and during this moment in history, I want access to your medicine cabinet.
