The Second Presidential Debate
Well, I’m not so sure John McCain pulled it off. He needed those zingers, but they simply did not materialize. Now, this isn’t to say that this election is over, because I don’t believe it is yet. Bush was behind Gore by the same amount (8% according to a CNN/USA Today Poll) in October of 2000, but ended up winning the election based on the electoral college (something I’m not sure if I support or not).
However, McCain must get out there and proclaim his message and attack Obama on all front if he expects to win this thing or even turn the polls around. He’s done a good thing by sending Palin out to attack Obama; it’s divided him between two targets, and hopefully more of his criticism will go toward Palin- she seems to be better at deflecting it and dishing it, something we need more of.
So, Sen. McCain, go out and attack! There’s no more time for this polite banter; you need to pull out the big guns and go in fast and strong. You’re in the big leagues now with the election and the future of our nation on the line! Give the American public a clear(er) economic policy. Spell out for us, in layman’s terms exactly how you will govern and how that differs from Obama. I support you, but your poll number sing a different tune.
Time is running out, you must act this week, or resign yourself to the life of Bob Dole, because the liberal Democrats will never forgive you.
We simply cannot stand for an Obama presidency. Our country will falter and fall because of it.
