Candidate in Crisis: Senator John Mccain

A presidential victory in a General Election, is won by one of the
candidates, obtaining two-hundred and seventy electoral votes, from
a combination of states. With less than a month to go, until election
day, Senator Barack Obama is leading in enough states, to give him,
at this moment in time, two-hundred and sixty four electoral votes.
If you do the math, and nothing changes, Senator Obama will need
one more state, in his corner, to be the next President of the United
States. On the other side, Senator McCain needs to win basically all
of the states that are now in the toss-up column, quite a tall order, if
we might say so.

It then, would not seem, to be so unusual that, with things going as
they are, at the present time, Senator McCain would try to pull out
all the stops and not only throw the kitchen sink, but the bathroom
commode at the Obama campaign. One of McCain’s aides,
reportedly said, sometime ago, that the election was not going to
be about issues. This was before the stock market, lost trillions of
dollars in value. Also, before multiple companies either filed for
bankruptcy or merged into other, more healthy companies. The
FDIC and the Federal Reserve, were working together to give
loans of billions of dollars to other companies. These things
occurred, after the statement was made. The economy went
downhill, with the freeze-up of credit, in the banking system,
when banks decided to cease overnight lending to each other and to
consumers, and the stock market continued to go south. The next
statement that reportedly came out of the McCain campaign, was
that they had to turn the page on the economic problems, facing the
country.

Talk about a disconnect, people were beginning to open
their statements, of their 401K retirement accounts, and trying not to
faint, after seeing the huge reduction in value, in such a short time.
Ten thousand homes, being foreclosed on per day, throughout the
country, Florida and California, being some of the worse states.
The housing market problem, of declining values along with the
sub-prime mortgage loan problem, crossed over the seas to the
European and Asian markets, it is now a global problem. With
all of these things making it seem as though, there is no solution
in sight, causing a sort of panic in the public. It would seem as if,
a person running for the presidency, of the United States would
want to address the economic woes of the country, and the people.
Not the McCain campaign, the next thing that the campaign stated,
was that they had to talk about, something other than the economy,
because if they talked about the economy, they would lose. Ergo,
all the garbage, that Governor Palin has been espousing, at her
tremendous rallies. Such as the William Ayers story, a man who
was a weatherman , who bombed Federal buildings, and killed a
man, it is said that he was unrepentant.

At the time this happened,

Senator Obama was eight years old. After Mr. Ayers came out of prison,
he supposedly rehabilitated himself and became a Professor at a
University. During this period, Obama met him and they united in
working to establish schools, in conjunction with theAnnenburg
Center. Governor Palin puts out the falsity that, Senator Obama was “
“palling” around with Bill Ayers, a domestic terrorist.
This, along with other insinuating, inferences, that Obama is a
a scary figure, who the people should not trust. Senator McCain
is trying his hardest, along with his “barracuda”, Governor Palin,
to cast Senator Obama in an unflattering light.

It appears that
the people have more pressing issues, on their minds, like who
will fix the problems that are apparent in the marketplace, who
is going to provide a viable health care program, who will create
new jobs and fix the energy problem? These and more are on
the minds of most Americans, not the fact that when Obama was
eight years old, somebody did something vile, that Obama had
nothing, what-so-ever to do with. Then there comes a news report,
that at sometime in the past, Senator McCain, attended a rally,
where a woman, who had shot a doctor, who performed abortions,
was being praised for her action, by the other attendants. He never
left the rally, or condemned the action. So why don’t we all just,
talk about what can be done to solve the problems that exist, which
are taking a toll on the American people, and leave the other stuff to
the soap operas?

Senator McCain has a tough job ahead of him, and he would do very
well to concentrate on developing sound policies, to take us into the
future, and provide some new ideas, that will address some of the
current problems. He should stop wasting time, trying to destroy
Senator Obama’s character, and show the country, how he is going
to lead us through the twenty-first century, without being so angry.
There is only so much more time on the clock. The country is watching
and listening, to see what he will be offering.

The final debate will be
held next week in New York, at Hofstra College. Senator Obama and
Senator Biden, have won all of the debates held thus far, according
to the polls, and the people who were watching. It appears that the
long game is almost over. One last thing, the report on Governor
Palin’s, possible abuse of power will be released on Friday, October
10, if there is a decision that she was wrong, in firing the
Commissioner, and faces indictment, there could be a possibility,
that Senator McCain would have to chose another running mate.
But, the Republicans, always on top of things, have the ability to squash
things which would not be favorable to a desired outcome, like
elections.
