I don't want to pile on, but damn! McCain just never got on track with his campaign. First he made a poor VP choice which caused him to waste time and resources to get Caribou Barbie up to speed and having her baggage drag the campaign down. He never was able to get an attack to stick to Obama and has constantly changed his message. He put this Plumber into the spot light by invoking him in a national debate and he turns out to be a liar and a fake. Then he embraces the liar and fake because he was too stubborn to back away from a mistake. You would think that this was McCain's first time running for President with such a poor performance. Sadly it looks like Joe will vote against his own best interest because Obama's plans will benefit him and his family the most. Now McCain and his supporter are reduces to making up these worst case scenarios and dreaming them to be true, and using these fantasies to attack Obama. Desperate!
Obama has preformed flawlessly. His message has been on point. He has carried himself with honor and respect. His ground game has been organized, very mobile and may become legendary. Omama's superior organization has kept McCain off balance, frustrated and confused. The video will speak to that. I liked McCain but when he used Bush tactics and jumped in the gutter it just turned me off because I thought "here we go again". This was not a good tactic for McCain because he is a much more honorable man the Bush could ever be and looked uncomfortable with this.
I still believe that is will be difficult for Obama to will given the history of the United States. Some say the Bradley Effect may flip the results. A new term may be born from this election, the Obama Effect! This will result in people saying they will support the more traditional candidate because of perceive pressure form society and peers. This support will become non-existent when this voter enters the boot because in their heart and pocketbook they know the less traditional candidate is better for them and the country. Will we see an Obama Effect land slide?
