Mac Pissing Off Undecideds

A great anecdote from an undecided, formerly Republican couple in New Mexico:

"Bush has been very disappointing and I thought maybe there was some hope in McCain but quite frankly it's the same saber rattling, just a different century, and it's disappointing," said Mr. Kochansky. "I want to hear about what he can do for us middle class people. I want specific ideas. I want some specificity to a political plan. Right now it's more negative. It's what Obama's going to do to us but not what he's telling us. He votes for this package for the congressional bailout but then he blames the Democrats."

The pair also said they were surprised that the turnout for today's event, attended by less than a thousand people, was so small.

McCain is running solely on a platform of "Obama sucks," and not on his own merits. He can't; he has none. It is refreshing that people from Albuquerque to Akron seem to be embracing hope over fear this time around.
