With a few days left until election day, Obama is cruising, and things are pretty much over for the McCain campaign. Unless something horrific is revealed about him in the next few days (unlikely, but not impossible given the oppositions propensity for swift boat/Rove style smears), the countrys common sense will prevail, and Obama will walk to victory.
In order to compete, McCain had to come up with something truly original. He tried that with the nomination of Sarah Palin as his running mate, but then either McCain, or his campaign wouldn’t let her be herself. Whether because of irrational fear or realistic assessment, they mis-handled Palin completely, and shielded her from the press, where she might have envigorated the Republican Party. Instead of getting the McCain of 2000 (who was at least interesting), we got the zombie of MaCain in 2008. I do like the man. He loves America.
As it is, Obama’s numbers have continued to improve in the past few weeks, resulting in an increase in seats in both houses of Congress. Frankly, I’m not bothered by that. The misbehavior of the Republican Party over the last few years deserves to be punished. Hopefully, they’ll go sit in the corner for a while and think about what they’ve done.
Though Obama is a bit further to the left than I prefer on some issues, there would potentially be things to like about his presidency. Hopefully he will repair our standing in the international community, and bring the troops home and get the economy on track.
Regardless of your political ideologies, Obama is not going to touch the second ammendment. He is not a Muslim. He is not a terror ist. AND he does care about creating jobs and helping the WORKING class. Let it happen people!
I certainly hope that all of us can come together in this time of turmoil, and unify the American goals of prosperity and peace. I stated before, America cannot be successful abroad when , at home, we are in shambles. Besides, the system of checks and balances HAS worked. The right-leaning folks will see thier time come again sometime in the future, and hopefully it re-incarnates as a more people-friendly, less religious, straight shooting party. We need the G.O.P.
The two-party system works. Sometimes it swings too far to the right or left for the average person. But it does work. I look forward to the new ideologies of Barack Obama and the Democratic led government. Lets all get on board and get past the bickering, and make America the sole super power that we need to be. My 401 K needs the boost baby, I dont want to have to work until im 70. Long live America!
