Thinking about Obama's speech

Ian C

This speech is exactly the sort of flam that has got the race to the convention season neck and neck. If all he can do is repeat this sort of verbose rubbish he will lose big.

Voters knows that McCain is qualified to be president. He does not have to make that case. There is no such evidence in play that Obama is similarly qualified. He has to make that case and unless he can do that and break the over-exposure with alot that is really new (Biden new?) he will fail. He has set himself and enormous, if not impossible, task with his 'change' message. Change what? and how? and why should anyone belive he is 'the one' to bring change? It is a very easy message to slam and the GOP will be very good at doing it.

Anybody who hasn’t seen the documentary ANYTOWN, USA by Kristian Fraga should check it out! It’s an entertaining story about a small town election with great colorful characters that we would all be entertained by in our hometown. In a year with larger-than-life politicians on a national level it is enlightening (and a whole lot of fun) to see what happens in a local mayoral race. This film brings the election home and shows that humorous–yet heartfelt–politics are right outside our very doors…in Anytown.
