Change For A Nickel

Let’s See Some Blood! October 15, 2008

Tonight will mark the final debate of this eon long Presidential election. Thank the gods! I have watched more debates than most but I must say, these last debates between McCain and Obama have been super snoozers! In the last debate, which was in a town hall forum, neither candidate really answered the question directly from the audience member. They both took these circuitous routes around town, down to the valley and through the woods before they actually got to Grandma’s house. That is if the big bad wolf of spin didn’t get in the way. Mostly, all I heard were their canned talking points which are older than McCain’s Posture Pedics! But how much new material can anyone come up with for two solid years of campaigning?!

Even though I am a total Obama head, I do realize that this is probably the last chance McCain will get to change the direction of the campaign. He is down by an average of 8-10% in the polls and I suspect he will come out swinging. Obama has practically goaded him to bring up the whole Bill Ayers thing. If that happens it will truly be Christmas for me. Because nothing would put a nail in McCain’s campaign faster! So I have a simple plea. Sen. McCain, please, please, please bring up the Weather Underground, Bill Ayers and his connection with Barack Obama. Nothing would bring me greater joy than to see Obama slam that shit right back in your face! You are cornered and you have no other choice than to attack. That is the (bad) advice that your Rovian advisers have given you. And we all know how well that has worked so far!! McCain is a salty warrior. I expect he is hard wired for the fight. As they would say back in the day, “Gladiators, we salute you!!”
