My friends ... official Republican presumptive nominee John McCain is giving another of his snoozer victory speeches. It's not a good look for your campaign when your best argument for your election is not that you can unite the country, or bring about change, or lead the nation to a better place, but that "given the alternative, my election as president is in the best interests of the country." In other words, hey, the other guy's even worse!
My friends ... Johnny Mack's biggest applause line so far is when he told the crowd of indeterminate size (clever boy, not putting any of the bored and the aged behind him where the cameras can see them...) that he will "defend the decision to remove Saddam Hussein." Great, so John McCain is the candidate of the 25 percenters who still think invading Iraq was a swell idea.
My friends, if I were working on the McCain campaign, I would be slitting my wrists in abject boredom advising that he do much less public speaking. John McCain is one of those candidates who is best seen (in gauzy biographies that are mostly in black and white) and not heard. He always sounds like a guy fighting to stay awake on the late shift. That and the creepy smile are a little too horror movie/night watchman for me, man.
On to tomorrow, where hopefully, an endorsy George W. Bush will manage to keep his fast little hands off the candidate...
