In an age when the visual image overpowers everything, the younger, dapper, smooth Obama wins by default over the elder McCain, whose body never fully recovered from the years he spent being beaten and improperly attended to as a prisoner of war. There is no doubt that some of Obama’s edge comes from this.
If you are undecided or a possible swing voter, or if you know someone who is, please consider this notion.
McCain is not a party-line robot. He is indeed a maverick reformer. People like me don’t like everything he’s done or tried to do, but we know he’s the real deal.
Ladies, Obama is like the guy you want to date, even though he’s not ready to be a husband. He’s fun to look at, he’s fun to talk with, but when you get down to it, McCain is the guy who has proven he can take care of things – that he can handle adversity and will make changes when things aren’t right. His running mate, Sarah Palin, might not be your ideal galpal, but she is her own woman. She doesn’t let men push her around. McCain could have chosen any number of running mates, but he chose a woman who is not afraid to rock the boat. Obama could have chosen Hillary Clinton as his running mate. The combination probably would have had momentum that would have been impossible for McCain to overcome at any point in the race. But Obama didn’t want to risk being overshadowed by a woman – instead choosing a much less charismatic man to be his running mate. Obama could have chosen other qualified women. Instead, he went with entrenched capitol insider Joe Biden.
Gentlemen, Obama may be someone who would be fun to trade jokes with at a Superbowl party. But he is insulting you when he talks like you are unable to make something of yourself without his help, and if you do make something of yourself, he won’t think that is fair and will to punish you. McCain may be like the older neighbor or boss that you don’t relate to because he’s from different generation, but McCain has demonstrated that he’s a real man, and that he believes in you.
Obama doesn’t have real solution for this economy. If he’d had his way, the condition that have caused the current problems would have been even worse. Obama is naïve about foreign affairs. McCain knows the military – he’s been there. He’s overcome real adversity in his life, and he has had to fight hard for his party’s nomination - he didn't float into it after a nice speech at the 2004 convention. Obama has used a lot of shady people over the years, a lot of angry and hostile-to-America people over the years, and then he has distanced himself from them when the association has become troublesome from a public relations perspective. Don’t let him treat your vote the same way. You’re not going to hear a lot about this pattern of Obama’s, because Obama’s campaign and those in the media fawning over him deflect it as a “personal attack”.
If we end up with an Obama-Reid-Pelosi government, with the Left holding a supermajority in Congress, no amount of smoothtalking is going to help matters. No number of smiles from Hollywood celebrities will be high enough to fight corruption and waste and terrorism.
We need McCain-Palin to stir up in D.C.
