Many in the electronic and print media have confessed to having trouble figuring out Sen. John McCain's campaign strategy. McCain seems to be all over the place: one moment, he says offshore drilling is "a gimmick" that won't work, and the next, he's chanting "drill, baby, drill!" One [twenty-six year long--Ed.] moment, he's calling himself "a de-regulator," and the next, he's all for close federal oversight of stock markets and the entire investment banking industry. One moment, he says Sen. Barack Obama lacks the experience necessary to be president; the next, McCain says Obama is to blame for the economic mess we now find ourselves in. One moment, all Republicans (including the Dubya Administration) are saints from Heaven and all Democrats are the Devil incarnate; the next [and despite his 90% pro-Dubya administration voting record--Ed.], McCain is a maverick and the only candidate who can bring us real change as he will "clean up Washington."
Don't you get it? McCain knows if we were all smart enough to vote purely on the basis of the issues, he'd lose in a landslide. He therefore is trying to turn Barack Obama into McCain's evil black twin. If you want to find out what McCain stands for, all you have to do is consider the latest charges he's leveling against Obama.
It's ridiculous; it's wrong; it just may work. And so is proven my hypothesis yet again . . . for isn't McCain the one who said Obama's ambition to be president was so strong he'd do anything to win the election?
