Democrats Underestimating McCain?


The Democrats are indeed underestimating good old John McCain. While they mention him every so often, they cannot completely focus on him with the battle that is currently taking place within the party. John McCain currently has the opportunity to plan a campaign against both Obama and Clinton. While the two favorites are slugging it out, McCain can use the Democratic race to his own advantage. The general consensus is that whichever Democrat earns the nomination, will become President. However, not everyone is ready for "change" to the ultimate extremity. Last time I checked, this is indeed the greatest deal of "change" our country has seen since its inception. When John F. Kennedy became President, Americans looked to his Catholic beliefs as radical change. Well, lets just say that the amount of change religion entails pales in comparison to the change the 2008 election has the potential of representing. Old school Americans are both adamantly opposed to change and heavily in favor of it. Some elderly people have longed for the day of a woman or African American in the white house. John McCain represents the normality that many people, both young and old, are accustomed to. Change, while necessary, is often very intimidating to many. A vote for John McCain assures that change will not happen for at least another 4 years. McCain will reap the benefits of the old school American mindset, so perhaps it would be wise for the Democrats to set their sights on what he does in the upcoming weeks.
