Image vs. Reality
It's looking to me like the election in November is going to hinge on the Democratic candidate's ability to break through the fawning coverage the media seem poised to bless McCain with and get people to actually SEE that his image as a moderate straight talking maverick is simply not the reality, and that a vote for McCain is essentially a vote for no real change in the policies regarding Iraq and the economy (among other major issues)that have proved so disastrous over the last seven years. If Obama (or Clinton) can do that, either one will win in a landslide. There is so much deep dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs that by all rights either Democrat should be at least a full twenty points ahead in the polls. But if the right wing noise machine and their MSM enablers succeed in foisting that false image of McCain on the country, I deeply fear for our future.
