47 Days to Go
With 47 days left to go until the election, let me state three obvious points:
1) A lot can happen in 47 days. It feels like the “quiet before the storm” and it really hasn’t gotten ugly yet. We all know it’s going to get ugly real fast.
2) What issue is going to be first and foremost on the minds of Americans come November 4th? If it’s the economy, Obama wins. If it’s national security, McCain wins. If the election took place today, the economy is first and foremost on everyone’s mind so I would give the nod to Obama. I don’t think McCain gives a credible argument that he’s the change engine the country needs. If in the next 47 days, the US encounters a credible terrorist threat that rattles us, McCain will win.
3) The Palin story is getting old. Nominating Palin as VP was a genius strategy by the GOP. Just think. For 30 days, no one has discussed any real issues. They (we) have been distracted by all this Palin gossip. That was a good thing for McCain as he allowed him to stay neck and neck with Obama.
