My Case To Lefties

Again, nice try on the Palin thing. You watched the debate and I saw your expression after it was over. Your tone has changed over the days. She did great and everyone knows it and unlike what I did with the McCain/Obama debate, I don't need to read the polls to tell me that.

Now that the Couric interview is behind her, because of this debate, she can go back to what she was doing before and that is to bash Obama and push McCain's agenda.
And she is doing it!
Her words carry a lot more weight now and I guarantee the "little foreign policy experience she has" argument will subside. (Biden has ran for pres twice and now once for VP and is a so called Foreign policy expert. Palin has been at it for 5 weeks and cruised through the last debate. That makes an impression)

As for Captain Know Nothing Do Nothing, B. Obama, he might be our next President, but remember, many people said the same thing back in '04 and a lot of my friends pulling for Kerry were like, "what happened?" I know that this election is a little different from the last election since Bush's approval ratings weren't where they are today and Iraq had not yet experienced the '06 catastrophe it has now gone through, but the more McCain successfully seperates himself from Bush, and the more he appears to be the man of experience, then the more people will look at McCain and Obama side by side. I like McCain's odds if that happens.

Also, It was one month ago today when McCain was leading in the polls and there is still a month to go. Anything can happen.

The Palin/Biden debate may not be the answer for a McCain win, but it has made the next two McCain/Obama debates much more important and it gave her politcal clout. Her future is very much in play for the Republicans.
Obama surged over Clinton and then collapsed in the last two months. The same thing could happen again. Obama will be pressed more on what he is going to do as president. But unfortunately for Obama, it is starting to appear that what he meant by change was that a Democrat will be president and not a Republican.

I think that if Obama wins it will be because of two things. People's hatred of Bush (and since he is a Republican...) and Obama's speeches (cult of personality). There is nothing else that he can point to.
Without a single accomplishment to his name, I think that this argument still stands.

Sure, people are pointing to the economy as an Obama strength, but if McCain/Palin can really push home that Obama will raise income tax (he keeps saying that only the top 5% will have a tax increase and the rest of the 95% of the population will have tax cuts, but when only 2/3 of the country pay income tax as it is and the top 50% of that 2/3 pay 97% of the total, and that small businesses making over $250,000 will be hit, it is hard to understand what he means. Federal welfare for the bottom 1/3 since they already don't pay anything?) capital gains tax, death tax, (etc.) and plans 1 trillion more in new spending, I think the people will realize that his idea of change is socialism and we now know how well the govt. is able to take care of the people after this last bailout.

To look on the bright side, Obama winning acclompishes two things for me. Proof that anyone can run for President and that the system of our govt. works and also that there will be more people voting Republican in 4 years.

Negative side, Obama will be worse than Jimmy Carter as President.
