Actually Obama is the first national candidate in our lifetimes to write a fair amount of his own speeches. If he's elected that will of course change. Campaign speeches are generally the same spiel at every stop hence the speech Obama gave at the DNC is akin to a composite-or greatest hits-of his catalog. It's also a reason why his speeches are more rhetorical than well researched factoids of policy.
Have you MET the majority of the people out there? We're lucky the candidates don't have to use colorful pictures and parables.
Hope and change are good things, no matter how much you mock them, I want both...whats wrong with that?
Better they play it over and over than sweep it under the rug...we all need to see what a sham her candidacy really is. It's undeniable, she is the Titanic failure of the ticket, the ace in the hole that backfired. And that's a good thing IMO, I want Obama over McCain anyway
McCain's negativity is feeding into his image as stubborn and rigid. None of those qualities are desirable right now in the eyes of the American Public. I think we're at an odd place where negative attack ads won't be fruitful (when they typically are). People want to hear substance and reasons for voting for someone, not negativity and reasons to vote against another.
The problem with negative attack ads imo,particularly McCain's,is that in todays world and media lies are quickly and easily exposed Fact check,CNN , Msnbc as well as obamas own website quickly exposes McCain's Ads as full of lies and bullshit and it hurts him far more then it helps imo Its 2008,The repubs need to start working on a new game plan.They should have learned from Hilary's mistakes
