I can't quarrel with most of what you say Steve. But in spite of the more reasonable context in which McCain's remarks were made, he certainly tee'd the ball up for Obama.

I never liked Dubya but those of you who did....probably found his verbal mistakes charming. Well, even you guys probably don't find those mistakes charming any more. For a bowling buddy, they're charming. For the President of the United States of America, they are not.

Which brings me to something many of you have noticed about Obama. If a candidate really wanted to be candid with voters, he would still need to strike a balance between giving them that.....and giving them the actual truth. Some people are very simple thinkers. Black and white. I think conservatives tend to be more this way. I do not say this out of criticism. I think liberals are more "circumspect" thinkers. Lots of shades of grey. One of the things I have come to know with relative certainty is that the most correct answer to most questions is: It depends.

We've had enough of politicians that pander to corporate interests. We've had enough of politicians who shoot from the hip and defy conventional wisdom. We've had enough of politicians with "guns blazin'," arrogant, Texas-attitude. Sure, McCain is trying hard to be decisive. And it's going to hurt him many more times before this is over.
