WOW, McCain Threw a Knuckle Ball

Well now, we finally have something interesting happening in this election and the best thing about it is that no one has even realized why. All summer we have been watching the young good-looking cultured gentleman from Illinois going from one spotlight to another speaking of how he will give us “Hope and Change”. How he was going to bring a new era to America through the power of government. He has told us that change has to come from new sources and that the “old boy” system of Washington insiders has to end. We have been told that something, anything new has to good and that we must leave the old ways behind. Then he went and chose as a running mate, the living example of the old boy political system, so much for change, but there is always hope.

Now the crusty old war-horse from Arizona, has gone and thrown the whole political world on its ear, by choosing a young dynamic wave maker from politically speaking “nowhere” as his running mate, and as of yet nobody has a clue why he did it. Oh, yes, the youngster also happens to be a woman, and so far, that is all that the “talking heads” have noticed about this election. Analysts have been quick notice that Alaska’s Governor is a woman, and gee, Hillary Clinton is a woman, so McCain has made a clumsy grab at dissatisfied Hillary Supporters. I believe that in the vernacular of my home, that the Pundits are on the trail but they are all barking up the wrong tree.

What we have in this election is much bigger than petty political counting coup. This battle will allow America to decide who we really are. Obama who talks a good game about change, is actually the living representative of Power Politics with all the trimmings, representing a political philosophy that only professional politicians are capable of defining what America is, what America needs, and what America is going to become.
McCain the maverick that should have never made it to the top of the Republican Party as their Presidential candidate or any organized Political Party for that matter. He has a well-earned reputation for the ultimate political sin; he refuses to lock elbows with “The Party” for the “Good of the Party”. He has fought for what he thinks is right and damned both friends and enemies while doing so. Now this “loose cannon” has picked as a running mate someone else who is JUST LIKE HIM, and he drawn the battle line. The Governor of Alaska is a hard corps reformer and she kicked her party in the teeth to get her job, remind you of anyone? So now, we have a couple of “Hicks from the Sticks” against a well-oiled “Old School” Political Machine. This is going to be something to see.
