Obama has been pretty consistent---and vague. But he got away with it. Now that he has to produce specifics, he has been matching McCain point for point and evading pretty much the same topics McCain does. Obama seems to have a way with the public that can build consensus, like Reagan, and is smart and willing to take on smart advisers, like Clinton. McCain has become erratic and petulant. He seems more cranky than Presidential and does not have a history as a consensus builder. He reached across the aisle because he alienates plenty of his own, but plenty of everyone else too. After this election he can start an 'outside the beltway' political club, and he and Lieberman will be the only members. Some people may think that is an attractive proposition, some because they like those 2 together, and for most of us, because we will be happy to see them Maverick--off into the sunset---with Hopalong Palin trailing right behind.LHwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890891351498768757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30510558.post-43566864531025886472008-10-13T14:11:00.000-07:002008-10-13T14:11:00.000-07:00Both candidates can be accused of changing their s...Both candidates can be accused of changing their shells. In some ways, Obama more than McCain. <BR/><BR/>You could be right about McCain regretting the Palin pick.Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09331211089963297411noreply@blogger.com
