As you know I have written John McCain off some time ago. My support in prior elections eroded when he tuned from an independent maverick to a religious right ass kisser. He quickly faded, ran out of money and was written off – this was at the very beginning of the campaign.
The fact that he “resurrected” himself and his campaign is just short of a miracle but I think his resurrection was his own personal doing not some young political hot shot like Carl Rove was for Bush. This is a testament to McCain’s ability to think for himself and admit he made a mistake and turn the ship around in mid sail.
He stuck to his support of the war in Iraq and Bush’s “new” surge plan for Iraq even when everyone told him it was suicide to do that – he is now in the lead - a phoenix of a sort.
Some say he is too old (70+) and they may be right; the presidency ages a person very much and if you start out old where can you go but to “very” old. And what about the energy required for the job – hey, that is a factor and we cannot deny it.
You notice that I do not mention Romney at all and I must admit that I just cannot seem to get to like Romney. I think he is a good business person and has a good mind for management. He comes across as un-genuine, willing to say and do anything to get elected (flip-flopper on abortion, etc.)
Hey it will be McCain vs. Obama and Obama will win so get ready for the first black (non-white) president – history in the making.
