McCain has not yet won enough of middle America to get within striking distance of Obama and there is talk of the gay vote. This defines absurdity well. The gay vote is at best less than 5% of the vote and he is considering it worth chasing? Absurd!
McCain will likely not get moderate and conservative Americans on his current course. He is not a moderate but a less and latter democrat.
He like Obama is ignorant of economics, management and world politics. He lives in the world of sound bites and posturing that is inhabited by populists who value self affirmation over justice.
McCain’s service earns him no pass from using reason. Like Obama this man has not studied and served in a manner to be elected president.
Who cares about the gay vote? Not me. They offer only a marginal constituency and are a liability given the demands they place on those they endorse. McCain like Obama would be better served to struggle with the real issues confronting America and formulate policies that reflect the facts and spirit of the American people that playing populist politics.
