“John McCain Doesn’t Get It”
“John McCain Doesn’t Get It”
Barack’s speech, like the rest of the convention, knocked it out of the park. As far as things he needed to do - I think he did it. He was specific with both policy prescriptions and how-tos. He managed to humanize himself and to attack John McCain without resorting to pettyness or identity politics. He addressed the controversial and scary issues of the day with grace and through finding common ground.
McCain certainly pulled an interesting - if not also a blatantly pandering - by choosing Sarah Palin, but now that things are off and rolling I’m going to just try to enjoy the fall and not get too mentally ill about the whole thing. The way to accomplish this, of course, is for no one to say the words "Flag Pin" to me.
