McCain's Attacks Greatly Hurting the Republican Party

Hey everyone! This blog talks about McCain's attacks and why they often backfire. For many weeks we've witnessed Obama, McCain, Biden, Palin and their thoughts. McCain sent the majority of attacks to the other party. It recently started changing the results but not positively. It became a major complaint about McCain. Others include picking Palin as V.P., his old age and a few more concerns. You may want to check out Ivy's blog and its comments; It may provide related information. Directly below lies my information.

If Election Day came today, approximately 53% of undecided voters would choose Obama 35% McCain.At least 6 in 10 people think McCain spends more time attacking Obama than saying what he will do. If McCain became president what would he do? You won't exactly know because McCain in my opinion spends most of his time attacking Obama and Biden, rejects Obama's rare and reasonable attacks and tries to hide how much he supports the Bush Policy. What makes this worse? None of it even works! When he actually talks about what he will do, he cares mostly about wars, doesn't care much about education,health,etc. and goes loco for nuclear plants.( I don't want to offend any republicans.) With the number of nuclear plants McCain wants has gone up from 43 to 45, a deadly meltdown will become more likely. Taxed health care will annoy many citizens. I don't want to go off-topic so back to my point about his attacks. Three out of four voters who changed their opinion of McCain recently say their opinion of him became worse.(The fourth person better of course.) Any one concern for either candidate can cost them the election and the White House. McCain needs a major comeback; That relieves me a little but anything can happen.

I think that esp. with McCain, you will want a VP you can trust because McCain is old and he might die soon. Sarah Palin needs to be ready to take over.

Can you be more specific on what McCain said about going loco whenever the topic is nuclear plants please?

Elizabeth said...

Yes, I'm not sure if negative campaining helps, it might but what do you think about it?

Do you think that could turn into an October surprise for McCain? I sure hope so.
