I've seen that cold efficient ruthlessness in younger politicians up here...it strikes me as being more neo-con than old school neo-conism if you see the parallel.
All new pennies tarnish in time.
McCain could put a big Ross Perot chart up proving Obama's a weasel...but I doubt it would change anything.
McCain needs to stand in front of more WW2 planes, maybe take off his shirt and show his scars...something that underscores that what he has done for his country is real as opposed to packaged.
No doubt. The neo-cons all came from the activist left. They all of a sudden saw an opportunity to 'change the world' after 9-11 and jumped on the bandwagon. Virtually none of the old line conservatives understood the price that was going to have to be paid.
There was an interesting program on the other evening about 'body language', which also includes speech. Both McCain and Obama were analyzed and the consensus was that it didn't matter a damn what Obama said, he has the moves down so pat that people walk away loving the guy. He had me going back in Jan. Took me a month to figure out that he was just playing the crowd. Fortunately, back then he was up against Hillary and was even further to the left than she was so I never got hooked into his policies, just realized that he's a very dynamic speaker.
Which brings us to another point. Obama has changed his position on many things, foriegn policy foremost, radically once the nomination was nailed. And the same folks are defending him. Either they know he's lying through his teeth, or they really don't care what he's saying as long as he keeps talking from the teleprompter.
McCain has to maneuver Obama into a declaration that scares the shit out of the middle 20%. It can be done, Obama really isn't that quick a thinker on his feet. But I don't think McCain has the skill or the will to do it. That plumber in Ohio the other day did a much better job.
