FWIW, I posted from a European perspective about the way McCain has run this campaign.
This past few weeks has been very disheartening from a Conservative standpoint.
I posted on FR last week about my dismay about the lack of attack from McCain towards Obama about the housing, and consequently the credit market crash, and the roots of the problem within Freddie - Fannie and the democratic pressures under Clinton.

Following McCain through his speeches regarding a solution to the credit issues has left me amazed.
I stayed up half the night last week to watch the debate between McCain and Obama live on TV, and was left dumbstruck.

Apart from a vague tongue in cheek slant towards Obama about the origins of the credit crisis, and lets be frank here, the crisis created all over the World by Liberal policy, there was nothing, no substance at all from McCain.

I have to say, from my perspective, with the information at my disposal, I feel McCain has given this election away with his 'on the fence' policies.
Hell, even Obama in that debate spoke stronger on the issue of Bin Laden.

Sorry guys, I hate to say this, but as a raging Conservative here in Europe, McCain looks like he either compromised his values in order to seem more attractive to centre voters, or alternatively, he doesn't seem to fully understand where his loyalties lie.

If any politician here in Europe, right now, spoke out against underpinning a corrupt financial system, they'd be onto an absolute winner.
I think if McCain had done the same, he'd possibly have been home and dry.

As it stands, I can't see a way that McCain could possibly convince swing voters, I'm a supporter of McCain/Palin (I prefer Palin TBH), and I can't get to grips with McCain after the past few weeks.

I can't even start to imagine how things are going to be in the World if Obama gets into the hotseat, it's a scenario that is a frightening contemplation.

God Bless Us

I can't even start to imagine how things are going to be in the World if Obama gets into the hotseat, it's a scenario that is a frightening contemplation.

Exactly.

I suggest we all spend the last few weeks of the campaign focused on that stark fact, rather than sitting around wailing about the other guy.

Right now voting for the other guy is the only way to defeat Obambi. So it's past time to get that settled in one's mind, stop bellyaching and try to win.
