"It's pretty sad when the worst thing you can say about your opponent is that he's too damn popular. Yet that's where McCain and his Republican handlers are right now, questioning whether someone who actually can fill a football stadium full of enthusiastic activists is worthy of the presidency. Far better to limit your audiences to a few dozen loyalists who can tolerate watching your cottage-cheese pallor swimming in a sea of green.
The worst part of the tut-tutting about Obama's resonance with the voters is that Barack isn't even that good at the rock star thing. He's really just an earnest, hard-working, wonky guy from Chicago who happens to be a really good speaker, and who moved his big speech to a big venue because a big number of people want to watch. You want theater? You want a sense of larger than life drama? You want true messianic celebrity?
John McCain's pal George Bush showed us how it's done."
- He quoted this from somewhere else. It's just a counter argument.Jaline
- this is a cut and paste--do you think I'm gonna take the time to write stuff to convince people I don't agree with?********
- I can't imagine a bigger waste of time********
- It makes sense though, and I don't see much anger in it.Jaline
