I was watching CNN today when they showed McCain at a campaign rally in Woodbridge VA. The crowd was extremely loud, and literally every sentence got chants and thumbs up, or a comment about Obama which dew huge boos. Its interesting McCain has recently got a lot of loud support, which I find strange, because McCain is really a very moderate republican. He doesn’t really energize the base, therefore, he’s mostly getting votes based on being not as bad as Obama, but it shocks me to hear such roars from the crowd in McCain's favor. i bet the 'real' conservatives are getting scared with Obama's lead, and now are coming out to really show their support for John McCain.
Obama on the other hand, has always had the roaring crowds on his side. i remember when he came to Charlottesville a while ago, and the place would go crazy, whenever he said end the war in Iraq, Socialized medicine, or Renewable energy. it actually legitimately surprised me that his supports would be so genuinely excited over campaign promises without concrete plans. anyway, this turn of events in crowd excitement is something that could turn momentum for John McCain a little, but not enough to move the needles in my opinion.

ReplyDeleteHis motive for the endorsement- intellectual rigor- at least that is one of the major reasons.
Intellectual rigor.
It makes a difference.
