For anyone supporting John McCain, the first two days of the Democratic National Convention in Denver have been about as good as one could have hoped. With big speeches by Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton out of the way, perhaps the democrats can now focus on things that matter, like real issues. I think its time for the democrats and specifically Barack Obama to tell us what he has in mind when it comes to this "change" he so nauseatingly talks about. And speaking of "change", has anyone noticed Michelle's backtracking and how her and all the other speakers have been talking about America as the land of opportunity and how this great country has afforded them the chance at becoming anything they dared dream about? With all these rosy little stories of accomplishment the feature thus far, do we dare, as rational beings, beg to ask, "Then why "change" anything at all?" Surely the democrats have noticed the hypocrisy of their message, right? They incessantly tell us everything in this country was bad, is bad, or is about to go bad, all the while refusing to acknowledge that these successes they champion were achieved during these same "bad" times they love to tell us about? Apparently America isn't such a bad place afterall?
The last days of the convention will be a huge test for Obama, as polls show his announcement of Joe Biden for his vice presidential running mate has garnered him zero points. The McCain camp has already seized on the contradictory statements Biden has made in the past concerning Obama and his legitimacy for the office of president. This McCain video really nails Obama as Biden implys that we cannot afford an inexperienced senator to be learning on the job.
McCain's camp didn't miss a beat with Hillary and her big night as well. They managed to dig up some footage of her telling it like it is. These adds are almost impossible to defend and it should be fun watching their attempts to save face. Here are some of Hillary's stinging comments:
