Obama's fun to hate, but McCain's not fun to loveI know a lot of the conservative minded members here really, really dislike Obama. Many dislike him to the point that you're willing to come blog the most outlandish (and untrue) things you can about him. The things blogged here about Obama are often so outlandish that the only people willing to believe it are those who already think Obama is a baby killing, communist, closet Muslim. In other words, you guys are preaching to the choir. That being said, the problem you guys are going to have to deal with is the fact that none of you ever blog about how awesome McCain is. All I ever hear is that you have to vote for McCain or else Obama's going to release his hidden Muslim army on our nation. No one in the conservative base is REALLY excited to support McCain, many just love to hate Obama. This kind of dynamic is not going to work well for conservatives in the fall. Has anyone seen the number of voters in the Democratic primaries compared to the Republicans? The Dem's base is ready to put someone in the White House. No one can argue the same thing for Republicans. Even though some national polls show McCain and Obama running even, and others show McCain ahead, they don't mean much. Those polls assume that those who would rather vote for McCain will actually show up and vote. Voter turnout will be crucial for Republicans in the fall and that turnout is hard to get with a candidate like McCain. The lack of enthusiasm on this website for McCain is a great example of that point. So, no matter how much you hate Obama, no matter how many things you make up about him, no matter how much you'd like to get others to vote against him, you still have to convince people to vote FOR McCain. travisstrickland1's blog | login to post comments |
