Whether Obama or Mac is the next president, they are still gonna have to work together.
Obama has at least four mour years in the Senate.
Mac has at least two.
It’s okay for Palin to eviscerate Obama, because everybody understands that, traditionally, that’s the VP candidate’s job.
Relax.
It is too bad that McCain feels he can’t be respectful AND attack.
Scared of Obama? “Friends, let me tell you, I understand your concern of an Obama presidency. I am concerned that his policies will lead us in the wrong direction. But, in these uncertain times we must not be afraid. We must fight to stand up for the ideals held by our fore fathers, to rise up against corruption and politicians that don’t seem to listen anymore, that think they always know best. And I will fight, but I am not afraid. I will fight for the unborn. I will fight for our constitutional rights. I will fight to bring a market solution to the economic situation that we are in.”
[Insert Winston Churchill quote here]
“My friends, I have known fear. This is not it. This is about standing up and fighting for what we believe in. And understand that while this great country of ours welcomes a diversity of ideas - some are right and some are wrong. When I am President I will strongly, and respectively, work with all those who are your representatives in congress and trying to do what is best for our great nation.”
That’s what I would have said - rather than “you don’t have to be afraid of him, he’s a decent enough guy - he’d be okay”. (Although I wonder if he gave this speech BEFORE stocks rallied today?)
