So who said this this back in late 2005?
“I don’t think I have a place in history yet. I got elected to the U.S. Senate. I haven’t done anything yet.”
That was the humble, grounded Barack Obama, newly elected to the US Senate. And what has he done in the Senate? Well his proposal to surrender to Al Qaeda in Iraq in January of 2007 was shot down. Otherwise, not much.
McCain could run a positive campaign emphasizing experience and his energy plan. Don’t ask Hillary how the experience thing went – she had a bad experience with experience because she lacked experience.
But on energy, McCain has something to please (or irk) everyone. Offshore drilling polls better than might have been expected in California, Obama can’t pronounce “nuclear”, and enviros know McCain has been a Senate leader on carbon cap and trade schemes (don’t tell righties).
Plus, all about the Benjamins: “Well, let’s see -the people on US currency are older, whiter, deader, and had a record of accomplishment, so there are a lot of differences here.”
