How McCain could have won hands down.

McCain has proven to be the worst kind of politician ever. What is it that has made him so unable to close the deal when he is running against a "empty suit" who has no experience, who has the worst type of associations , Ayers, Acorn, Rezko, Jeremiah Wright. And has never stood for anything and the only reason he is even the democratic nominee is because of the color of his skin.
Look back at the primaries - he won most of the caucuses because people were afraid not to support him openly incase of being called "racist". when the primary was a secret ballot he usually lost to Hillary. McCain is running against the most inexperienced and most radical person in the history of the US of A and yet he cannot close the deal. Why ?

Here is my analysis as to why.....

What is the republican party's main strength "National Security" and "Low taxes" . McCain has believed the press and the "talking heads " and concluded that he needs to distance himself from President Bush who in my opinion the best President this nation has had since Abraham Lincoln. All he needed to say was " I have broken with the Pesident on his signing the huge spending bills his own party sent him but on keeping this country safe and keeping taxes low I will strive to do even better. HE has kept us safe after 9/11 and I do not not want to go back to the Clinton years where every two years americans were killed

• 1993 World Trade Centre bombing, which killed 6 and injured 1,000
• 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed 5 US military personnel
• 1996 al-Khobar towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed 19 and injured 200 US military personnel
• 1998 bombing of US embassies in Africa, which killed 257 and injured 5,000
• 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, which killed 17 and injured 3 US sailors

and the Clinton Admin was impotent did nothing and that lead to 3000 deaths. I will be like President Bush tough on terrorists, I will go after them with everything I have. I will furthur the work of the Intelligence dept. I will keep you safe and keep taxes low. Remember the job of the President is to keep you safe above all and I will do so. Elect me do not elect a person who wants to negotiate with crazy regimes we will have another Jimmy Carter if you do"

There -- had he given this speech, honored President Bush and kept true to the facts rather than the polls he would have been leading by 4- 5 points now. But honor and gratitude are not McCain's strengths , it may have been 25 years ago but now he is just a politician who wants to win. and Alas that may be his undoing unless americans wake up and realize how dangerous Obama is.
I have little hope that Obama can be stopped but who can tell......
