I think McCain would have had a much better chance if he had simply gone after Obama’s policies and how disastrous they would be for the US and our economy.
He also should have used Palin as the VP is intended to be used, as the attack dog instead of hamstringing her.
Palin should have been hitting Obama and Biden up for their gaffes, their lies, and brought up how radical those two were and how radically they would change the country.
McCain should have gone after Obama’s policies, how they would have destroyed our economy, went after his for wanting to appease our enemies and the risks doing that would place us. After letting people know in no uncertain terms how horrific the Dems would be, he needed to hammer home his plans and the benefits they would bring.
Instead we got “Obama would make a fine President, you have nothing to worry about” - oh really? Who in the US isn’t worried right now? Obama?
I agree in large part.
This year we have to be careful how we present our message. There is a way to say, “I told you so!” and a way not to say it.
Many Americans are hurting. They are looking for solutions, not scapegoats.
If Republican candidates all began smart-ass personal attacks, we would see a quick drop in the polls.
