I am shocked that a smart guy like Obama has not started harping on the economic pain the future holds for this country and how he would help to reduce it. Instead of all the happy talk abroad if he had memorized that fine essay by Pat Buchanan and started singing the “it is the economy stupid” line, he might be in double digit lead. That he can’t even learn from Bill Clinton’s strategy to defeat Bush 41 paints him in poor light.
At this rate, McCain can win just by playing the “I am a war hero” and “he is not even a proper/real American” line.
