You state the problems that McCain faces well. He is just plain vanilla and next to Obama even looks more so. He is like many from his generation, he really is uncomfortable blowing his own horn; he is possessed of neither charisma nor glibness and he seems to have a great deal of difficulty talking about the incredible things that he has accomplished.
His opponent, on the other hand is attractive, possessed of great charisma, and confident to the point of arrogance.
McCain doesn’t play well with evangelicals because he likes to keep that part of his life private as many of us do.
He doesn’t play well to the Bush Republicans because they think that you can just keep on cutting taxes without cutting spending and this big happy train will just keep on chugging along.
He doesn’t play well with social conservatives because, again as most of us do, he really doesn’t want to tell other people how they should lead their lives.
He’s just plain vanilla and your right the R brand is doomed this time anyway.
Oh well! It won’t be the first time we have elected and abject racist to the Presidency the only difference is this one will be black.
I never can remember who said it………..but it applies………”people get the government they deserve.”
