When McCain became the presumptive GOPer nominee, he had at least a 3 month headstart on organizing and running his national presidental campaign. He had 3 months to fine tune his "message" and to dominate the headlines.
McCain didn't step into presidential campaign mode until Obama became the apparant Democratic party nominee. McCain bumbled a 3 month lead.
Weeks before becoming the Democratic nominee, Obama hit the ground running with his presidential campaign. Obama showed a smooth transition from primary campaigning to presidential campaigning while McCain napped and is only now trying to get organized.
With all the messes that bush has left us, from Iraq, the economy to gas prices, etc. and considering the low approval/support for bush and GOPer - I was expecting a Shock & Awe blitz by McCain to be well underway. Yet, McCain's campaign is bumbling, fumbling and stumbling.
I've often said that the manner in which a candidate leads their campaign is indictative of how they will govern and manage things if elected.
Those who are leaning towards supporting McCain should be asking themselves if this is the way McCain will run the country. Bumbling the problems, daily flip-flopping on what he supports or doesn't support is not the kind of leadership we can afford. Forget 'staying the course' on anything - McCain is still trying to find a map.
Obama easily stepped into a leadership position, he's set the course for the Democratic party and presented his path for the country. McCain is bumbling around waiting for direction from the GOP or Rove or both. This presents another question - in the event of a McCain presidency - will McCain lead or just take orders from GOP headquarters?
