Unfit For Battle

This week was such a downer!

Watching the bright, shiny-new Obama taking the crown, and speaking with his typical confidence, even smiling. Looking strong and vital.

Contrast that with 'ol Granddad McCain; down in New Orleans for crap's sake! Could he have picked a more depressing hole? A democrat talking-point all in itself! And then to dig the Republican grave even deeper, he has to call out the place as being the single biggest example of everything that's wrong with our government. How'd that taste George W.? Nice going McCain.

Is this the way McCain should be launching his battle against the Messiah? Messiah's going to eat his lunch if he cannot get over his "Mr. Roger" tone and demeanor! All he's missing is the little sock-puppet friend. I swear to God something happened to him long ago in that Viet Cong cage. They broke him I think. He has no fight in him. He just wants to be liked.

McCain needs to wake up and recognize the uphill battle he's in. More like scaling a cliff! Americans are as deep as a birdbath. They like shiny and new. They like young and confident. They're addicted to celebrity. They swoon over rock stars and chuckle at Grandpa.

I am very, very worried. I don't see strength when I watch and listen to McCain. I don't see the confidence. I don't see the energy that's going to be necessary to win this election.

I'm hanging in for the first debate, town meeting, or whatever they call it. He'd better "bring his game" as they say, because even though his message may be more accurate, more substantive, and truer, he'll be drowned-out by the "music".

This is gloves-off time McCain. Let's go already!
