This blog was urged upon me by some of my friends with whom I have been communicating about the 2004 presidential election. They suggested that rather than just passing along my thoughts on the politics of the day via email, I should record them in a blog. And so here it is! Anyone wishing to comment on any of my blog messages may do so by clicking on the word "Comments" below the message. Comments may be contrary to or to concur with what I say, or to comment on someone else's comment.

Must See 27 Second Video

Do not skip seeing video at end of this posting!

As the time shortens and the poll results show that Obama is slowly but steadily moving ahead in the polls, John McCain's campaign has become more and more desperate and nastier. The approach has been to use every trick to insinuate that Obama is an unknown quantity, unamerican, possibly connected to terrorists and therefor a dangerous choice for president in a time of crisis, both economically and in national security.

The result has been that McCain/Palin look desperate and erratic and the polls are showing that the message McCain and Palin are delivering is not working as Obama continues to build his lead in both the national polls (See the trend in the table and graph under the table of poll results at Real Clear Politics and state by state (See the Electoral Vote map).

Then today, in response to a question at a campaign rally, McCain retracts the attacks on Obama. Is this a change in his campaign tactics driven by the polls or is this McCain coming to his senses?

Video: McCain Retracts Attacks on Obama

A must see video! Only 27 seconds long.
