Reagan and Carter were close in the polls but the excitement within the country for Reagan was overwhelming...you just sensed Reagan was going to win big....he was optimistic, enthusiastic and confident...Americans were eager to get behind them and you just knew the polls were crap.
This time around? McCain is loaded with excitement,energy and enthusiasm...the country is squarely behind him...I get the sense McCain is going to win big...he is optimistic, enthusiastic and confident....Americans are eager to get behind them and you just know these polls are crap.
Am I too far off base here?
Way, way, off base.
No one is enthused by McCain, but people will vote for him out of fear of Obama.
Let’s be realistic, however: McCain cannot win this election because he has nothing left to offer other than not being Obama.
Moreover, he doesn’t understand the existential threat that Obama represents to the United States as a free, constitutional republic.
Perhaps he can’t understand it, because he believes, as most do, that the United States can’t be brought down.
You are correct, except for the part about McCain being “loaded with excitement,energy and enthusiasm” and “Americans are eager to get behind them.”
I sense more a feeling that there is no one except Sarah who understands and she is beholden to an idiot.
McCain’s admonition to his followers that 0 is a family man, a good man and a patriot, is evidence that he is the doddering fool 0’s minions have made him out to be.
