Democrats Shouldn't Get Too Cozy, McCain At His Best As Underdog - Page 3
As McCain begins to lose ground in the polls, I hear the Democrats getting cocky and self-assured. Which really isn't wise with this much time still left in the election process. Tonight's debate between the two VP candidates will be mostly pomp and circumstance, simply because the expectations for both candidates have been set so low. All Biden has to do is follow the time limits for his responses and not look directly AT Sarah Palin and he's golden (the man is known for being a "windbag" and has been cautioned not to beat the crap out of her because she's a "dainty pitbull in lipstick) and for Sarah Palin, all she needs to do is not writhe on the floor and start speaking in tongues and predicting the apocalypse and she will be seen as a winner. Hey, don't missunderestimate (a Bushism) her, she's a whiz at glittering generalities and double-speak. Plus, she's so darned CUTE!
Despite what some people think, this election is NOT in the bag for Obama and the Dems, this is when it starts getting tough and McCain will come out fighting. If people want Obama to win, they better do as the man does: slow and steady wins the race. The time for spiking in the end-zone comes in January, not October.
Oh, and it doesn't help that the Dems historically have been known to throw the whole race away all Cleveland Indians style: with a lead in the bottom of the 9th and their best closer on the mound. Hey, what's substance without style!
