The only thing McCain has done right during this campaign is choosing Palin as his running mate. Aside from that he has been a complete fool.
He should have been blasting Hussein on Ayers AND Reverend Wright before the conventions as a means to define Hussein to the electorate. Politics 101 (this is basic stuff) dictates that you define your opponent early on. When we should have been hearing ads regarding Hussein’s associations and left wing background, we were hearing about Paris Hilton.
Now in the middle of this economic mess and behind in the race, McCain is forced to talk about Ayers in an attempt to define Hussein for voters, not something you should have to be doing in the final three weeks.
When the housing mess first broke loose with the bank failures, McCain should have IMMEDIATELY tied it to democrats using their corruption on Fannie & Freddie(as Rush did at the time). Instead we heard about how Wall Street and the free market was at fault.
I’ll still vote for him, but his has been the worst presidential campaign I’ve ever seen, and it’s McCain’s fault. He was, and probably still is naive about what he’s been running against, and lacks the will to attack it the way he needs to.
Yep, McCain will not get partisan, his refusal to come out on the attack about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac just proves it.
He wouldn’t even brag about his own legislation a few years ago warning about the collaspe, then he FINALLY did it.
He’s horrible...just horrible.
