(Obama tries to show no fear as the crazy attack dog nears)Strange, Isn't It?
.
Isn't it funny that after almost two years of non-stop campaigning, and all the endless hours of blathering, the achilles heel of John McCain's campaign will be the very thing that was first identified as his potential weakness many months ago?
Remember the early jokes about McCain being the "grumpy old man" whose temper might do him in? That prediction was quickly forgotten as the campaign began in earnest. But after last night's debate, it became clear that those jokes were mentioned for a reason, because they're true.
In last night's debate, both candidates got their fair share of shots in, neither man really scored the "knock-out" punch, however, almost everyone today was discussing how angry and contemptious McCain looked. He came across like one, seriously pissed-off old man. And the fact that he could never look Obama in the eye was just... weird!
One wonders from where this bitterness originates in McCain's personality. Is it a stereotypical scenario in which the older generation resents the younger? Can it be that McCain is feeling the heat because the political party to which he has devoted his entire career turns out to be one completely bankrupt in its philosophy and has created some of the worst foreign and domestic disasters in the history of our nation?
I've never thought McCain would defeat Obama for the presidency, but at least now, when the t.v. pundits are debating where McCain's campaign took its fatal step, all they have to do is pull up a tape of last night's debate. It will go down in history as the 1960 Kennedy/Nixon debate all over again.
