Dem Convention Day 4
Thursday, August 28, 2008
Obama officially accepted the party's nomination tonight and gave an amazing speech probably one of his best. In front of 85K people, Obama laid out his plan for the future and in the process took a few shots at McCain and the GOP. It was nice to see the fighting side of Obama, we all knew it was there but he kept it hidden throughout the primaries. I guess it was another one of his plans, to keep everyone guessing and the interest alive. For months Obama did run on lofty rhetoric but I expected the concrete ideas would surface once the nomination was over.
It will be hard for the GOP to try and top this convention, they know they can't but are still sitting there freaked out not knowing what to do. They will recycle the same old tired themes, will attempt to use fear and attack Obama's character since they have nothing else. Although the hits have hurt Obama he has learned how to withstand the kitchen sink while running against Hillary and this will help him against the GOP.
I am interested to see the temperment issue play out and I expect to see McCain reach his boiling point over it and explode in an interview or debate. If this happens it will be the end of the campaign. It will not look like a waking lion instead like a grumpy old man who fell asleep on the porch. McCain has his hands full and you know that every other guy who ran is secretly happy inside they lost.
