The Red Brick Times

OK. That's it. McCain is responding to a question about why his running mate is the best choice to the the "next" president. He characterized Palin, among other things, as a champion against government as usual, who will "get into Washington and sweep out the old boy network, the cronyism" and other back-room mechanisms. If it were not for the old boy crony group, McCain would never have been able to stay in the Military after crashing planes and being subordinate, would never have been able to stay in the Senate after changing his ethical directions and associations, after swinging like the weathervane to the course that would blow him where he wanted to go, regardless of the path. He is speaking in pat phrases that sound coached. His body language is studied and stultified. He keeps trying to attack Obama with the tired lies about how bad Obama is because he once served on an education committe with a Chicago Professor who was a bad dude back in the 60's (when Obama was 8 years old). Obama smiles and shakes his head and knocks down each swipe and turns back to the problems at hand; the economy, the survival of the middle class, the stability of the country as a whole, regardless of party affiliation. Obama's answer to why Biden is the best "next" president highlighted international knowledge, experience in foreign policy, and the ability to work across the aisle on issues of merit.

Obama seems to be playing resonant themes on a carillon. McCain seems to be swiping at a Pinata with a baseball bat.

I'm going to bed. This middle class sluggard still has to schlep and slave tomorrow.
