Okay, I've just got to say this concerning the Presidential race (and this is just off the top of my head so don't freak out about the speling errors or what could be taken as politically inccorect statements - they are.)
I'm going to call it. Senator McCain has officially lost, and here is why:
1. Obama's appearance and speech in Denver was one of the most publicly impressive in decades. He was self confident, and came across honest and sincere and, in my opinion, for the first rime really said something about what he plans to do. Unless he screws someby in public other than his wife, he has successfully mobilezed millions to go to the polls and cast a vote for him.
2. McCain (the next day) looked to old, to ill, and way to uncomfortable standing next to his VP pick Palin. (like he was afraid to hug her for fear he'd get a sexual assault charge, his wife pissed off, or worse, her husband stomping across the stage to kick his ass!) He did not motivate anyone to do anything for him. (There was even a shot of some white guy in the crowd with his arms folded across his chest looking kinda pissed off when McCain announced Palin's name. Did anyone else see that?)
3. Palin is too young and attractive for the GOP (middle letter there stands for "Old"). Some bloggers even go so far as calling her a MILF! (I'm just saying.) But getting people talking about you doesn't necessarily translate to getting them to vote for you.
4. McCain just reinforces what Obama said about him "not getting it." If McCain's strategy is to woo the women voters, who were supporting Clinton, then that's a non-starter to me. THAT is playing politics, and besides, Palin has no where near the accomplishments of Senator Clinton. Clinton ran on her (and her husbands) achievements and voters off all types were supporting HER. Palin is no Clinton, in this case she is "just a women" and if the McCain camp hopes she will draw in those illusive, fembots to his side, they are sadly mistaken. Like I said, he's playing politics and I think women and former Clinton supporters find it insulting.
5. I'm going to say it, and it might offend, but I honestly think the majority of GOP men DON'T want to see a "Hocky mom" just one 72-year-old heartbeat away from being the Prez. Not with things like Iran and nukes, N. Korea and nukes, Iraq, Russia, and the economy to name only a few. The majority of of American men would rather see a black man in office than a white women. (There i said it again, go howl at the moon.)
Some people argue to wait and see what happens at the Republican convention, but I don't see them being able to generate teh same kind of energy and emotional impact as Obama and the Dems did (people were crying for crying out loud!)
Just my thoughts, feel free to crux me by email.
Happy Sunday,
xoxo
Bryan
