I've been trying to figure out just what, other than George Bush and to some extent, Sarah Plain, has gone so terribly wrong with John McCain's campaign and I think this discussion has alot to do with it...

There can be no doubt that the kind of capitalism that has been practiced in the US for at least the last 30 years isn't working and herein lies Obama's strenght and McCain's weakness... Obama is younger and more open minded and John McCain is juts the opposite... Sure, McCain is running from pillar to post like a bumper car out of control looking as if he gets it but he doesn't...

See, the problems is that "change" is allready here... That is worth repeating... Change is allready here and whether people consciously accept it or not, I think that if it were put to them exactly that way that most would agree...


So given that change is allready here it's more about which guy most folks think can best work within that reality... Obama seems to inately understand that it's a matter of going with the flow and McCain is still fighting... Might of fact, that is his latest cmapiagn slogan... There's no fighting something that has allready occured...

No, I'm not promising an Obama victory but just making an observation that the tides seem to favor someone who ain't gonna spend alot of energy trying to make stuff like it used to be...

Just some thoughts from the ol' hillbilly...
