Out With The Old, In With The ...


The Really: Does John McCain really stand a chance against the poster boy for Hope?

Both candidates were perched up on that stage for 90 minutes. Both candidates stood fast and continued to secure their party's vote. Both candidates hemmed and hawed at what the other said at times but both candidates did not come out equal. I stand neither right or left, nor right of left but what I saw tonight, what we all saw tonight if we chose to watch with objective eyes was a stark difference between our two candidates. It wasn't white and black, it wasn't Democrat or Republican; it was old versus new. It didn't have as much to do with age as it had to do with aging ideas.

No one in their right or left mind for that matter will stand up and say that Barak Obama is totally different then everyone else in Washington. No one will tell you he doesn't like a little earmark here and there. No one is even saying that his plans for health care or getting our economy on back on track are totally original and outstanding. What you will hear is that he seems the most "with it." That Barak seems to have his finger on the pulse of the MAJORITY more so then Senator McCain. To this I cannot disagree. Barak is certainly a politician, however, in this case one home is better then 9 and two cars are better then twelve.

Our economy will not be fixed on the laurels of John McCain's time in a POW camp. Terrorism will not subside because Sarah Palin can see Russia from her deck (and she can't). There will be more.
