The Invisible Candidate Makes An Appearance

Senator Barack Obama has a tough fight ahead of him.

In addition to running against Senator McCain, he also has to run against what I like to call the Invisible Candidate. The Invisible Candidate appears to be non-partisan, and we've seen the effects of it in comments like Geraldine Ferraro's ("If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position"), during the West Virginia and Kentucky primaries, and on the lips of the Fox "Osama-oops-Obama" anchors week after week.

McCain - Winning hearts and minds?


Elizabeth Ross ~ quixotic
All during the Dem primary, beyond the race/gender rhetoric, there was the whisper about the age gap between Clinton and Obama. If that was a gap, the difference between Obama and McCain can only be compared to the Grand Canyon.

See You in November


Elizabeth Ross ~
Now that Clinton officially backs Obama, it's time to start looking forward to November. But first, a tiny look back, if only to evaluate possible damage from the primary.

My Candidate Loves America More Than Your Candidate


LeftyLucy ~

A recent McCain ad features a voiceover pronouncing McCain the "the American president Americans have been waiting for."

Perhaps I'm reading too much into this ad. Perhaps it's meant simply to highlight McCain's service to our country. But I don't think so. Why include the descriptor "American" before the word "president"? Haven't all of our presidents been American? The implication is that his opponent - let's assume this will be Obama - is un-American by comparison. It's simply an appeal to the people who think that McCain's military history makes him more of a real American than that guy with the weird name, Hussein something-or-other.

I'm taking my ball and going home!


Elizabeth Ross ~ exasperated
Since I was old enough to have a clue, and have any interest in presidential elections, every four years I would look forward to the time when the "adults" would start acting like kids. As I got older, it ceased to be amusing.

More Coffin Nails for Clinton?


Elizabeth Ross ~ amused
My mother always said to keep the stones to myself when sitting in a glass house. Makes me wonder what wisdom was passed down to Hillary.
