McCain Sets High Bar for Obama Post-Convention Bounce

They’ve got that right. It is most likely that a Clinton will get +16 pts bounce after Denver’s Convention.

We will turn off all TVs in the houses next Thursday entirely.

I really doubt that. Obama is no JFK, he is not even a Clinton. Clinton was the only candidate that won back the Reagan democrats. Obama, this year, happened to lose exactly those people. Clinton’s problem was mainly personal — his affairs. But Obama’s problem can get to national security level. He scares people with all his questionable associates and his extreme views. He at most gets 5 point bounce, and will go down once the huge attack from Repubs begins.

I’m thinking 10, Paige. The increased number of states BO thinks are in the U.S.

Hmm Sarah is really putting it out there…Why is the question?. Do the Repubs have another bombshell in their armory ready to launch..this really seems suspect.
As most would see that this is a anomaly, in the results of POTUS races.
Waiting to exhale.

Republicans don’t want to play the gaffe game. It really will make you cry, McCain might think you are a baby and give you some hot bottled water……

So typical – a GOPer setting the bar for the bounce for the Democratic presidential candidate. Lets see what kind of bounce McCain gets after the GOP convention. A ploy to make Obama look weak if he doesn’t get a 16 point bounce. Most Republicans (especially the women – Coulter, Ingraham, Maulkin etc) are just nasty human beings.

Oh, and add “Auschwitz” to the list.

Has McCain predicted his own “bounce”. The truth is that, if he can keep the media reporting on such non issues as this, they will never get around to pointing out McCain’s total ignorance on issues important to most Americans.

Let’s continue, Paige.
Obama botched basic geography: “Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it’s not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle.” On what map is Arkansas closer to Kentucky than Illinois?
Obama claimed his parents united as a direct result of the civil rights movement: “There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Ala., because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born.”
Obama was born in 1961. The Selma march took place in 1965.
Regarding the well-known and most contaminated nuclear site in the U.S., Hanford nuclear-waste cleanup: “Here’s something that you will rarely hear from a politician, and that is that I’m not familiar with the Hanford, uuuuhh, site, so I don’t know exactly what’s going on there.”
How about “Iran doesn’t “pose a serious threat to us” — cluelessly arguing that “tiny countries” with small defense budgets can’t do us harm — and then promptly flip-flopped the next day, claiming, “I’ve made it clear for years that the threat from Iran is grave.”
Gaffes? Most of yours are total snoozers. WOW!

Sunny, if you need some additional clarification on ANY of those that I listed, please advise. Otherwise, continue with the grape Koolaide. Oh, Yeah.

Don-Please share with us what legislative accomplishments McCain has and plans to provide that is the basis for your vote?

“…you don’t believe his lack of understanding of the Sunnis and Shites in Iraq is a problem?”
For one, you failed to actually identify any problem. The actual issue is whether Iran is helping insurgents. Does it matter to the U.S. military who Iran is helping? Word is that Iran may be helping both Muslim sects. Your mileage may vary, but I’m for killing all insurgents.
What IS a problem is that your bud BO is willing to sit face to face with terrorist regimes with absolutely zero preconditions. Maybe sipping tea and eating crumpetts. Maybe a bridge game. Who knows?

Don-Untwist ask one of our brave military personel.

and Don that bad gamble that we won’t know if it “worked” for decades that we call a surge… because we still have thousands of soldiers holding the civil war apart from happening…
cost us lives and 1,000,000,000,000.00 dollars. just the surge.
hope all those guns and money and lives we have now given to these muslim extremists don’t come back to bite us in the a$$ in the form of another al qaeda group…or worse.

Thanks, dl. ‘preciate all the insight.

Makes sense to me….however if Obama has has his polling “bumps” that were expected AFTER Hillary suspended her camapaing, and AFTER the rock star world tour….OBAMA WOULDN’T HAVE SO FAR TO CLIMB!
HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN!

Are you serious? Do you really believe that a discussion of a post convention bounce is more important than the hardships Americans are facing?
If your answer is yes that it makes perfect sense to me why someone who claims to have supported Hillary would now support her polar opposite.

Hey Debra the thought of a
racist Obama in the white house scares me!
Posted by: JH
Ignorance is what is destroying this country.

Obama will not win because people will go into that booth in Penn, Mich, Ohio, Viginia and get scarred that they may actually be voting for a Marxist and they will have a change of heart.

Obama will be giving RESKO a pardon, if he is elected.

Well look at all the pardons from Bill, some very questionable. Would Hillary do the same, probably.

We need more of the same ole and not change. Our economy is bouncing back, the dollar is rebounding, oil is on its way down, the war is coming to an end and McCain needs to keep us on our current path.

Debra,
Please correct me if I am wrong. You supported Hillary because you agreed with her positions on health care, the war, taxes, etc.
Politically, Barack and Hillary are very similar with the only true major difference between them being the way in which they ran their campaigns and how they put forth similar platforms.
I do not understand why you are so bitter about Obama as the nominee. He won more states and delegates than Hillary did. If you really were a Hillary supporter, you wouldn’t be voting for someone who represents the exact opposite of what you believe.
Your stance is completely irrational and I would like clarification on why you think McCain is better than Obama if you don’t support McCain’s views.

chattyway, Obama isn’t predicting the 15 pt bounce, McCain is. If it doesn’t happen, will it be because McCain is even more out of touch then most people think?

Another damaging blow to the GOP and McCain. Susan Eisenhower is leaving the GOP and is supporting Obama.
For the youngsters among you, Susan is the daughter of John Eisenhower, and the granddaughter of President Dwight Eisenhower. She is a highly respected expert on international security and the relationship between the United States and Russia.

This is ridiculous. The only reason the McCain camp is throwing such a high number is because they want to be able to continue to say Obama is below expectations. Funny how the guy from nowhere and below expectations has maintained a steady lead over McCain throughout the race. McCain will loose in November and our NEXT PRESIDENT will be Barack OBAMA!!

“Our economy is bouncing back” (we’re in recession),
“the dollar is rebounding” (down again this week to new lows),
“oil is on its way down” (down from $141 a record, 4x the 2000 price)
“the war is coming to an end” (maybe by 2011 or 2012)
“McCain needs to keep us on our current path” (you’re deluded, aren’t you?)
On this path, the US will collapse by 2012………..

There is only one poll that matters.

I suppose Mr. McCain’s always wants to appear “successful” by always meeting very low expectations. That is not success. That is pseudo-success, and the philosophy of losers.

If Barack doesn’t get this bounce, McCain is WRONG again. Wouldn’t it be awful to have a dumbskull for president, oh wait, that’s right, he’s Bush III.

Unless Obama picks Hillary, I doubt that he will get that huge of a bump. The rest of his choices are either old news or no news. I truly think that the enthusiasm for Obama has waned.

John McCain has over the years gradually shriveled from a real war hero to nothing more than a circus clown. He has become, (and there is no kinder or gentler word for it) a pathetic boob.

Again….let’s do the math….if BO had got the projected 8 point bump AFTER HILLARY DROPPED OUT, and if he he got the projected 5 point bump AFTER HIS ROCK STAR WORLD TOUR….HE’D ONLY HAVE 3 OR 4 POINTS TO GO……Don’t blame anyone for the polls EXCEPT OBAMA!
HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN!

I am thrilled John has set this bar for BO. As a Hillary Democrat, it is good to see the democratic party’s elitist acting so prudishly. Perhaps, it is the thin air of Denver that has given him this illusion of grandeur. Upon returning to sea level, I suspect he will be delusional. Thank God November is close and John is our next President of America.

Jon…let’s put it this way…his “rootlessness” and disconnect from American values,or what I perceive to be “all American” is my main reason. I also don’t want to move toward Socialism and I could never sit or be a member of a hateful/blame whites/country/jews Church. Ayers friendship is unacceptable.

“And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations,”
Thanks for reminding me what “in touch” means, JR.

It’s funny we can argue all day and people can always talk about Barack associations, but the funy thing is McCain has assocaitions he is not happy about, but nothing is said…HYPOCRITES…you know why, because its skin color. The honorable McCain lied and said he did not start dealing with Cindy until his divorce was final, but on FOX they showed that was a lie. Lets see Barack is married to the same woman, and raising two beautiful girls. For all of you who call Michelle angry, well she is not angry, she can speak freely because she is not trying to hold up some phony perfect image as alot of conservative Democrat and Republicans do. They beat there wives in the arms and below the waist so the abuse is hidden. Do you ever wonder why white men get away with molesting there kids, and the wife knows it. Maybe you should try being a strong woman.

You got to hand it to these guys running the McCain campaign. Here is a guy who is quite well to do and cannot remember how many houses he owns. Somehow their man is not out of touch with the public and is not an elitist. Instead, they paint Obama as an elitist and people buy it hook line and sinker. McCain graduated at the near-bottom of his class but the campaign paints him as a capable leader. On the other hand Obama is called incompetent even though he graduated from the Harvard Law School and was also the editor of the Law Review while he was there. People accept this as a fact. Campaign managers know us all too well. They know we are so ideologically polarized we are willing to accept the most partisan attacks as facts.

John McCain is obviously the best candidate for the white house in a long time. He earned this opportunity through hard work and a life of service to our country. War hero. Veteran. Disabled Veteran. Loves our country. I for one will not waiver on my support to the American Hero of the jihad acts of barack.

Here, let me help you little man:

Jon, you can’t argue with ignorance. People not wanting to vote for Barack because Hillary lost, or atleast that is the excuse they give. They say there was sexism in the primaries, well so what there was racism. You will find alot of people on this blog who are willing to vote off of ignorance, and 4yrs from now they will be wondering why am I still living paycheck to paycheck.

I for one don’t WANT to vote for Obama, but see NO option. The idea of keeping the neo-cons in the white house for 4 more years, gags me. McCain would be the worst thing for our country since George Bush.

I’ve been reading and watching these two for a while now. I don’t seen anything special about McCain at all. He just seems out of it. He straight out said he’s not an economy guy. Our economy is screwed people. Obama is, as I see it, real potential for change. And not because he’s saying change, I already heard it. McCain is just going to keep us on the Bush track. I can’t wait to hear their speeches so I can make my final decision.

atl,
I agree with you. You cannot combat ignorance. The only thing that counters it is education, but that seems to be failing in this country as well, unfortunately.

Vote as you please, junior. Hint: Bush ain’t running.

“I can’t wait to hear their speeches so I can make my final decision.”
If you’ve heard one McCain speech, you’ve heard them all. Same rhetoric, same jokes, same POW rehash.
Agreed, I just had to say that to still stay on the fence. I’m kinda like the text message. Waiting to announce my decision but…. you know what it is.

bill, look around, the republicans have almost doubled the size of the US government and tripled the size of the deficit.
Just because it isn’t CALLED a tax, doesn’t mean it isn’t one. It’s an old republican trick, raise the cost of everything but claim it a tax cut. Are you better off today than you were 8 years ago?. I’m not.

“Bush ain’t running”
Sure he is, he’s calling himself John McCain.

growingoldoffensively: I, too, am “growing old.” I am old enough to know that not one single political party bears the responsibility for anything you wrote about in your post. Perhaps you have grown too old, and cannot remember Bill Clinton who was so involved with “not having sex with that woman — ” that he lost track of how to protect the country from our enemies. Please don’t make me laugh about the deficits we have been running under both parties for some time now. It’s pretty childish to continue to preach the Democratss party lines in the face of bold facts that disprove what you claim.

John McCain is a millionaire playboy looking for a new hobby. .

Jon,I ask myself this question every 4 yrs., are we going to let the wealthy divide us by class and race, get us angry so we vote off of emotions instead common sense, and here we are again. People angry Hillary lost so they are voting for McCain. People can’t vote for Barack because he is black, and they give these stupid excuses that you can see right through. The problem with this country is no one wants to accept the truth. We all have demons and issues, black people and white people, all of us. But one issue we need to get over is the color of skin. Wealthy people only care about green.
Thanks Jon

“John McCain is a millionaire playboy looking for a new hobby.”
Wanna link me up with that new wave thought, bobby?

15 point bounces are a thing of the past. However, if Hillary and Bill come through in a big way next week, I believe Obama/VP will get a 7 or 8 point bounce.

Will this be called the Resko/Wright bounce?
Posted by: Art in FL
No, it will be called Keating 5, oh no, I can’t remember how many houses I have.

We will wait for the Clinton/Obama nomination. If not, President John McCain will be elected, as there are 9.7 million reasons for this fact.
>>>>>>>>>>> PUMA <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

When Bill Clinton got his 15 pt bounce, you had a unified democratic party. You don’t have that this year. The dems will not be unified until 4 yrs from now. If Hillary doesnt come away from the convention as the nominee, then she will run again in 2012. This year, the DNC, Dean, Pelosi, Reid, Kerry, and Kennedy gave the presidency to John McCain. Hillary should have been the nominee…she was the won with “character” and “substance”, not Barack Hussein Obama.

QUIZ: Which number is bigger? The number of homes owned by McCain or the number of wives owned by Mitt Romney’s grandfather? Trick question…the answer to both is 8.

Obama did not blow the forum, it was not a debate as John McCain told stories just to get through it. He didn’t mention the name Jesus one time. You see everything is not a show or politics, but aparently John McCain didn’t get the message, or he does not understand the faith and values that is required of us by our lord and saviour Jesus Christ. What about you?

LOL – look at all the cookie cutter talking point points all these good little repubs are earning. Maybe soon they’ll be able to afford their decoder rings and get a clue.

Debra you must be out of your mind!! You say Obama is unfit because of his atheist mother and muslim dad and angry wife?? Barack could hardly pick his parents religion while he was just a boy could he?? I don’t believe you are so heartless to speak of his parents as if you are showing some Christian kindness–

You people are sick. Crap!!!
Just shout the hell up and vote for the best one.

This could be called the terrorist connection bump after the nomination, as Obama is close friends and associate with known terorists, Ayres and Dohrn.

I just watched Obama on ABC and he said something to the effect he wants a VP that can govern and present him with a challenge and has experience…sooooo I guess he is picking Hillary?

gale , both houses of Congress were in republican hands for over 14 years. 1 1/2 years ago, the democrats got a 1 vote majority, but with Bush in the white house to veto anything passed by democrats, it takes a 2/3′s majority to CONTROL congress.

jackson, Well he sure nailed that one though, now didn’t he?

Since McCain is now, as much as, 5 points ahead in the polls, it’s time to beg Hillary to take the presidential nomination. Obama can beg for the VP spot. After dropping about 10 points in the polls, in two months, the writing is on the wall – Dukakis II.

I love coming here each night and reading the Obamcons posts! I ALWAYS have a good laugh! I’m going to be laughing even more when I watch Obama’s face as he has to give his concession speech to President John McCain!

If McCain “08″ Your Change is all you’ll have left.

Have you ever noticed when you listen to the Republican’s talk about their candidate or anything else related to their neo-con party, they ALWAYS repeat word-for-word from FOX “News” talking points?
It’s insane….
We have been so dumbed-down as a nation by fake right-winged news organizations and their biased propaganda.
Most of it’s basic reverse-psychology – Take the good and turn it into the bad, and so on.
I’m not so sure McSame isn’t just as IDIOTIC as McBush. And let’s face it, we’ve just witnessed 8 years of the stupidest administration we’ve ever seen as a nation.
AND YOU WANT MOR EOF THAT…?
Clowns!
OBAMA 2008

IMPORTANT POINT!
For Immediate Release:
Let’s NOT forget that McSame was also directly responsible for the McBush Lies that led us to this FAILED war in IRAQ.
Of course he supports the war and wants us to remain there for 100 YEARS… All of his friends and family will benefit if we stay in war.
That is the NEO-CON Agenda people.
McSame is a proven liar, he flip-flops almost every month, he is known for being a coward to the system that runs him, his scandal affiliation is out of control. He has never been successfully involved in any foreign relation matters, is completely out of touch with the working class and the list goes on.
America is sick and tired of the Neo Cons ruining this country is the guise of patriotism. We are way too smart for that now.
Change is coming – Obama 2008

Have you ever seen such a lame campaign coming from mcsame??? He won’t pick his vp until obama picks his.He had to listen to Obama’s answers at the saddleback church before he could reply with his own which were no doubt written for him.He attacks Obama as being “too good” with his inept attack ads. Just what we need for president. Another 4 years with a complete moron.

McCain doesn’t even know how many multi million dollar houses he owns and has to consult with his account first to find out. Ten by the way. And he depicts himself as just being one of the guys in America. It’s no wonder his answer to Rick Warren of the saddleback church for being rich was ” five million dollars”.

So, McSame is now attempting to tell the American People how much of a “bump” Sen. Obama must get out of the Democratic Convention in order to be considered a success. If that isn’t presumptuousness, than I don’t know what it is. Whatever “bump” Sen. Obama gets will be fine with me as he leads in virtually every poll, and has led all summer. Also, when it comes to what really counts, the Electoral College, Sen. Obama is still approximately 50 votes ahead of McSame and would win if the election were held today. I’m comfortable with the thought that when Sen. Obama starts hammering away on McSame and his foolishness, we’ll see positive movement for Sen. Obama in the polls. Obama 08!!!

Looks like Obama will follow in the footsteps of Dukakis. Actually, Obama, will make Dukakis look good in November. And the democrats were so close…

I will vote Republican when the true middle of the road Republican take back control of the party. They let the Conservative far right wing nuts take over after Nixon embarrased the party. Now they have to get rid of the con as well as their partners the Evangelicals and their one issue only vote pattern. Till that happens I’m staying with the Independent or Democrats.

Third try for a bounce Obama….Hillary dropping out didn’t work, European World Tour didn’t work….this is it….enjoy your week to bump up in the polls. Hope Oprah’s free gift baskets help you out too.

Obama is not as sleek as Clinton. He sucks!!!

How can someone say they are a Democrat and yet believe that McCain is more likely to run his administration in closer accord with the fundamental principles of the Democratic party than the actual Democratic candidate?
Don’t people who say this realize that every single Democrat who is -really- for change in the same way that Hillary was (including Hillary herself) who hears them say this thinks they are a total whine bag?
Can we really afford to waste another 4 years because of a temper tantrum? I think people in this camp are despicable for allowing their personal vendettas to interfere with doing the right thing.

THE TRUTH ABOUT MCCAIN:
McCain Fortune Traced To Organized Crime Mob figures later implicated in Arizona savings and loan scandal
By Jerome R. Corsi (C) 2008 WorldNetDaily
John McCain’s personal fortune traces back to organized crime in Arizona, through his father-in-law, according to a report published by a multi-news agency team called Investigative Reporters and Editors Inc. IRE reporters Amy Silverman and John Doherty, writing in the Phoenix New Times, note that the father of McCain’s wife, James Hensley, was convicted by a federal jury in U.S. District Court of Arizona in March 1948 on seven counts of filing false liquor records. Hensley also was charged with conspiracy to hide from federal authorities the names of persons involved in a liquor industry racket with two companies he managed, United Sales Company in Phoenix and United Distributors in Tucson. The umbrella company, United Liquor, at that time held a monopoly in Arizona, organized and managed by Kemper Marley, who was accused of mob ties by a reporter who was murdered in 1977. Silverman and Doherty report that by 1955, Hensley had launched a Budweiser distributorship in Phoenix, “a franchise reportedly bestowed upon him by Marley, who was never indicted in the 1948 liquor-law-violation case – or a subsequent one – despite his controlling role in the liquor distribution businesses.” According to Marley’s longtime public relations man, Al Lizanetz, the Marley liquor empire was founded by the Bronfman family dynasty of Canada which operated Allied Finance Company, Northern Export Company and Distillers Corporation – the Seagrams, Ltd. empire. As chronicled by the “Rumrunners and Prohibition” video shown popularly on the History Channel, during the 1920s, the Bronfman family made millions in bootlegging, accounting for half the illegal liquor crossing the border, working in a profitable distribution deal with the infamous mobster Meyer Lansky, who later moved on to establish the crime syndicates in the casinos of Havana, Cuba, in the 1940s and 50s. Arizona in the 1970s drew a “who’s who” of organized crime figures seeking to retire in the sun, including Rochester, N.Y., mob boss Joe Bonanno, who spent his last days along the Lake Havasu shores and in a quiet home in Tucson. In 1977, after Arizona Republic reporter Don Bolles was killed when his car was blown up by the mob in a parking lot, a team of 36 journalists from 27 news organizations, known as IRE, published an 80,000 word 23-part series on organized crime in Arizona. Dan Nowicki and Bill Muller, reporting in the Arizona Republic March 1, 2007, documented that in 1953, Hensley was again charged with falsifying records at Marley’s liquor firms. Hensley was found not guilty after being defended by William Rehnquist, the future chief justice of the Supreme Court, Nowicki and Muller wrote. In 2000, Hensley, then 80 years old, still controlled the Budweiser distributorship valued as a $200 million-a-year business, with annual sales of more than 20 million cases of beer. On Feb. 17, 2000, Pat Flannery reported in the Arizona Republic that Hensley’s beer-distribution empire was the fifth largest in the nation, “a Budweiser franchise whose bigwigs hold the No. 2 spot on Sen. John McCain’s all-time career list of corporate donors.” Since 1982, according to the Center for Public Integrity, Hensley & Co. officials have pumped $80,000 into the campaigns of McCain, Flannery wrote. More than a quarter of that has been donated since 1997. Flannery further reported that in 2000, Cindy Hensley McCain, the senator’s wife, held a 37.18 percent financial interest in her father’s Budweiser distributorship, although she was not involved in day-to-day operations. The McCain’s four children held a combined 23.55 percent interest, though their interests were at that time held in trust. Arizona crime connections again surfaced in the 1980s when McCain was implicated as one of the five U.S. senators named in the “Keating Five” scandal. Charles Keating Jr. and his associates paid McCain some $112,000 in political campaign contributions between 1982 and 1987, while Keating was organizing a massive real estate fraud in the then FDIC federally insured Lincoln Savings and Loan Association. In April 1986, McCain’s wife and father-in-law also invested $359,000 in a Keating shopping center, before the savings and loan scandal broke. Keating was sent to prison under civil racketeering and fraud charges for the $1.1 billion loss the investment scheme cost the public, although McCain and the other U.S. senators involved managed to avoid charges in the Senate, with McCain receiving only an Ethics Committee rebuke for exercising “poor judgment.” Even today, McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign staff includes several prominent lobbyists, despite the senator’s claim to be a campaign reform crusader whose goal is to take money out of politics. WND previously reported McCain’s 2000 and 2008 campaign manager Rick Davis took a six-figure salary as president of the Soros-funded Reform Institute in the intervening years and managed his own lobby firm of Davis, Manafort & Freeman in Alexandria, Va., operating at the same building in a suite down the hall from the Reform Institute. In 2003 and 2004, Davis apparently solicited CSC Holdings, a subsidiary of the Cablevision Systems Corporation, headed by Charles F. Dolan, to make two separate $100,000 contributions to the Reform Institute. In between the two separate $100,000 contributions Cablevision made to the Reform Institute, McCain, then chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, wrote a letter to the Federal Communications Commission supporting Cablevision’s desire to continue packaging customer TV programming in a manner more profitable to Cablevision. In this period of time, McCain worked with Vicki Iseman, a lobbyist representing telecommunications companies, including Cablevision. WND also reported Davis arranged a 2006 meeting with Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska in Davos, Switzerland, a close supporter of Russian president Vladimir Putin. McCain repeatedly has voiced opposition to Putin, even calling on President Bush to suspend Russia’s membership in the Group of Eight. In 2007, the U.S. State Department cancelled Deripaska’s visa over continuing concerns he remained connected with the Russian mafia.

Obama betrayed me. He said he was for change and against the war.
Then he picks Biden, an old Washington insider who voted for the War.
I was looking forward to voting FOR Obama, now I guess I’ll just be voting AGAINST McCain. Sad, I was hoping Obama would be different…he’s not.

Thank you.

What a loser Obama is!
McCain 08!

I agree this response went over my head.
But please, 5 million is rich. No taxes for anyone. Defeat evil.
Neither Mc Cain nor Obama are the losers. Mc Cain’s estimated net worth is 100 million, Obama made
4 million last year on his book sales. Are you anywhere close to these figures???
Didn’t think so; if you where you’d have more important things to do right now, LOSER

Despite the fact that Clinton won in 1992 in part because of Perot votes, and because of the women’s vote, comparison to Bush’s poor record by Obama-Biden does America and Clinton a great injustice – since anything is nearly better than what America has been though in the last eight years.
But Clinton was surprisingly successful in his terms, and in extending greater prosperity to the nation that was badly needed then, and badly needed now.
Obama-Biden relying upon the Bush poor record is not enough to get elected given his lack of experience and his radical departure from old-shoe politics even with the addition of Biden.
Change never relied upon color before, and the probability that it needs to be tied in to that perception is irrational at best. As that reality becomes more apparent, it is the recipe for yet another third party showing amidst the hypocrisy that has become American politics every four years – none of which can be tied to any one candidate, any one policy, nor any one group. The message is in the mix however of how pandering to fallacies can create a worse world, not a better one.
Without clarity, Americans have no extra advantage against the flaws of world politics that is closer by the day, and radical departures from its traditional Constitutional principles merely moves it closer to the abyss.
American democracy and rational capitalism cannot afford to be pushed through a maze to see what comes out on the other side; it is surely to be an unacceptable option from what were her beginnings that have allowed her to endure for 400 years – so far. But past performance doesn’t guarantee future results – that phrase is all too visible and apparent in today’s politics. Gambling with people’s lives still leaves an uncertainty no one is willing to bank on, or bet on, and that is today’s reality – in black and white.
