Imagine if you will a board room filled with college educated well spoken Americans whos sole purpose is to win a Presidential campaign. As they sit there pondering their options a lone voice suddenly speaks, "I have an idea, lets avoid making any real promises or suggesting any solutions to the current problems afflicting our nation by creating some commercials that scare the voters into voting for our candidate and if any one tries to say anything bad about our guy we can just have him reference the most horendous thing that ever happened to him to the the point that it diffuses the opponents arguments. With all the money that went into educating these creative genuises the only thing that they have actually managed to do is make John McCains time as a war prisoner look like an excuse to avoid discussing the reality of the moment and by trying to scare us with what might happen when Obama becomes President they have only reenforced the fact that we the American people are tired of the petty and child like behavior coming out of Washington. If we continue to fear the future based solely on the evils of the past then maybe we deserve John McCain. We need to be willing to take chances and fail in order to grow as a nation. McCain may not be George Bush, but he is tainted by being in his world. I would rather go with someone who has a bit of a dreamer still living within him then a person who has been forced to repress whatever dreams he may have had in order to live in a world run by a group of MAD MEN.
