Give Him Credit - He Has Spirit! (And That May Be Enough)

The one thing Obama has that McCain does not have will be the one thing that loses the election for McCain. Spirit. Senator Obama has the spirit of something new and it is this spirit that is taking off like a rocket around the nation. We can witness the wildfire of supposed change that is igniting the souls of so many who are sick of
the status quo. Now, don’t get me wrong, I disagree with most of what Mr. Obama subscribes to. Unfortunately, as sad as I am to say it, there are many out there who think he is the one who will bring about true change. Why? Because when he speaks he is inspiring, while Senator Clinton is about inspiring as a dead horse. This is the reason Obama is currently overtaking Hillary and he will be the Democrat party nominee. This is also the reason he will defeat McCain. When Obama speaks, he sounds presidential. When McCain speaks he sounds like an ornery old man who all too often laughs at his own jokes, while his crowd is awkwardly silent.

You see, the Republican party is somewhat fractured. It is trying to heal itself,
but it does not have the appropriate candidate who will lead it to the healing waters. McCain still polarizes the conservative right, we have a problem with his liberal history. Some will fall in line and support McCain, but there will still be a fair number of us who will stick to our values and not cave to what the “party” does or says just because it is our party and he is the lesser of two evils. There are certain principles and policies that are too important to give up on just because we want our nominee to win. When Obama becomes the Democrat party nominee, there will be many independents who had previously supported McCain in the primaries, who will line up to vote for Obama. When Obama wins the primaries, he will have the entire Democrat party vote, he will have most of the Independent vote and he will win many of the Moderate Conservative vote. It will be by far the winning majority. McCain will have the military vote, some of the Moderate vote and many of the conservative votes, but not all of the conservatives. It won’t be enough to out-do Obama in the General election. In fact, some of the conservative right will not vote at all and some will even vote for Obama in an effort to stifle
McCain and swing congress in two years. Obama claims he is the voice of change, the “new guy, “ and people do want change. How is McCain going to compete with this? He has been a senator for years and years. Will people really believe McCain when he says he will change Washington? I just don’t think so. When we hear him speak on illegal immigration, does he sound believable? He says he has heard the people and he will build a wall first, but what does that really mean? I think most of us conservatives agree that when the general election begins, he will have some form of amnesty up his sleeve. Just nine months ago he was vehemently the opposite of what we the people wanted. Why didn’t he change then? Back when he heard our
voices shouting loud and clear. You have heard McCain speak, has he inspired you? Enough said. Remember, you are the base; he needs to inspire you in order to get your vote. Talk to your liberal friends. Ask them if Obama has inspired them and they will respond in the affirmative. They will support him in droves. The candidate who awes and inspires will be the candidate who gets people off of their couches and into the voting booths in November.
