I am not sure what you are getting at with your commentary. Should he be saying “Winning in the fall will be a ‘walk in the park’”? Would that help to energize the party?
Obama is selling hope. Empty, vacant, baseless hope. With enormous success
And McCain goes on national TV and give a message that essentially say's 'we have little hope, maybe none'?
He is there to appeal to his base, the Democrat Party, who are being given a choice between hope with Obama and no hope with McCain.
How stupid is that?
Is the likely Democrat nominee (Obama) going to have an "uphill battle"? Of course not. So why should the GOP be picking someone who's going to have an uphill battle (and is flat-out admitting it, and apparently okay with that sort of situation)? Doesn't make any sense to me.
The Rats may not have a cake walk when they get done. I realize that rats have more sheep qualities than GOP.
