McCain Speech = Big Load of Crap

[dragonrider]

You know as well as me the problem is with BOTH partys. Change will have to start there....not to mention term limits. What has the Pelosi/Reid combo accomplished. Same ol' spending with the same ol' no results. Hell, we're in the middle of an energy crisis and they go off on vacation.

But that is not what Obama is running on. McCain is basically saying, "Elect more Republicans, even thought the last ones didn't work out so well. Our policies are the same as the last bunch, but this time we are going to be true to our principles and things will be different!" That's a pretty hard sell.

Obama is bringing a different set of polices and priorities, so it is much easier to make the case that things will be different.

More and more people are seeing the fact that Obama has done little to nothing in his years of service....not to much to run on. He's never lead a town, state, or a business. When the people hit the polls just watch and see, this one won't be as close of a race as the Dems OR Republicans thought it would be. Clinton won the key states, not Obama.

I think people are going to get past this experience problem soon, especially once we get into the debates. It's obvious that Obama does not have the length of experience that McCain has. Experience is valuable, but what EXACTLY is the value of experience? The value of experience is that it gives you judgement. Experience teaches you about issues, how to react to situations, and helps you make good decisions. Some people have that kind of good judgement with only a little experience, while some people who have a lifetime of experience never develop good judgement.

Obama has said he exercises better judgement than McCain. If he can have good command of issues in the debates and show that he has good judgement, he will win that argument. I thought he had won that argument when McCin picked Palin, but she has turned out better than I expected, so the comparison will have to be about a real issue.

McCain has tried to adopt the Obama campaign's theme of "change" and rebrand himself as an agent of change, but it doesn't work at all. First of all, he offered a good number of policy points, which is pretty good for a convention speech, but it was pretty much the same Republican policy points that have been circulating for 30 years. (This is where Joe Biden should pop in and say, "That's not Rating: 5
