An exhausted American electorate has been tuning in and out of this presidential campaign for more than 18 months, a campaign which began way too soon. But tonight the clock has been reset, just in time for the respective party nominating conventions, the Veep selections, and the presidential debates.<\/p>\n
Forget everything you thought you knew about the polticial fortunes of Barack Obama and John McCain. Tonight’s Civil Forum on the Presidency hosted by Rick Warren and Saddleback Church has changed the landscape dramatically, focusing like a laser on the stark differences between Barack Obama and John McCain, both politically, generationally, and philosophically.<\/p>\n
Tonight is the night the American electorate had its first opportunity to size up the candidates without interjection from the main stream media. After tonight, 200,000 Europeans chanting “O-Bam-A,” solidifying Barack Obama as an international superstar, is a distant memory which will serve only to magnify Obama’s elitism. John McCain’s “cross in the sand” story does more to elevate him in the eyes of his countrymen than all of the photo-ops of Obama’s European Tour combined. John McCain’s direct and candid answers demonstrated real world experience compared with Obama’s obfuscation on nearly every question (his three wisest advisers are his wife, grandmother, and Sam Nunn? He’s kidding, right?) which demonstrated classroom hypothesis.<\/p>\n
Keep in mind that McCain has been campaigning non-stop for the last several weeks while Obama just returned tonight from a weeks vacation in Hawaii. Obama should have been on his game and McCain should have been showing age fatigue. Obama wasn’t and McCain didn’t. One is a pretender. The other is the Real McCoy.<\/p>\n
The campaign begins today with advantage: McCain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
