New London Day Opinion Article
An opinion piece that posits, more reasonably than I've seen from
anywhere else, that Obama isn't about change as much as he lets on, and that,
therefore, McCain is the better candidate.
My take is that the writer must be writing from an independent viewpoint,
because Democrats might respond, "Here we go. Another right winger
dreaming up a reason to vote Republican," and because Republicans
might respond, "We know Obama isn't about as much change as he says he
is."
However, and drawing the article's logic out to its conclusion, if Democrats
want change, as we typically hear this campaign season, McCain should be their
choice. And if Republicans are not buying Obama's "change" argument, which they
typically are not this campaign season, and if they would presumably prefer to
keep the status quo because they like the current president, Obama should be
their choice.
It'll be a fun race either way.
