Most Americans, I believe, love their country for what it is–not what it could become if suitably socialized, taxed, neutered, and otherwise recast. If McCain-Palin can effectively articulate that message, they will win.

That’s a big “if”, when you consider that the Obama campaign has denied that their ambition is to make draconian changes. Before McCain-Palin can effectively articulate that message, they have to articulate just exactly what concretely the Obamites have in mind. They’re not even there yet.

Forget what the McCain-Palin agenda is, McCain can slam dunk this if he can simply convey precisely to the American voters what the true Obama-Ayers agenda is.
