Henninger thinks Obama’s message is a depressing one, whereas he says McCain’s rhetoric has an “upward, positive” arc. The question is whether the public will perceive it that way and respond like they did to Reagan’s optimisn,
Yeah, but he is wrapping up his depression in a shiny wrapper. On the other hand, McCain, last time he spoke, depressed the hell out me, one of his biggest supporters.
I figured he was tired and had an off day....but if that’s the best he is going to do, message alone is not going to get it done.
