No, I do not think the decision will come down to whether the democrats or republicans take the moral high ground. I think that this is going to be a simpler election than that. Flat out, the democrats are going to win the election. The only way the democrats will not win the election is if they get some really bad press. If Barack Obama was found out to be part of an anti-American terrorist organization like Stephen Colbert has been joking about, then the democrats would not win the election; but I doubt this is going to happen. Even if Barack Obama gets semi-level bad press, it will not hurt him. The press is so heavily on Obama’s side right now, that it is Obama-mania!! Just like with Hillary Clinton, John McCain and the Republicans are getting no love. All attention is on Obama. I believe that the only thing the democrats have to do now is ride these two months out with the same “blah, blah” speeches of hope and change.
It doesn’t matter what stunt the Republicans try to pull, whether the stunt is taking a moral high ground, or handing out Thanksgiving turkeys to poor families right before the election. This latest stunt with McCain choosing Sarah Palin as his running mate isn’t even working. The main objection the Republicans have had to anyone wanting to vote for Obama is that he is inexperienced. Then he turns around and chooses a running mate with less experience than Obama. Huh?? I’m like is this dude serious. He’s not pimping right; I believe he’s going to lose even more votes for bringing her in. I guess this is the most qualified young woman republican that he could find to get the youth vote. I have to say that Obama had it easier. He only needed the older white person vote, and there are a lot of OWDs (old white dudes) in the Democratic Party to choose from, but fewer young minorities in the Republican Party for McCain to get the young person vote.
To me the primary issue is getting the republicans out of office. That’s the only issue the majority of the people seem to care about. Thanks to George Bush, Jr. and his administration the word republican is the new curse word. That’s why I believe no tricks by the Republican Party are going to work; Obama is too strong. The Reverend Wright controversy did not faze him a bit, and his relationship with Tony Rezko was hardly even in the news. The best thing for the republicans to do is take this ass whoopin like men (and young women running mates) and play the rest of it out.
