Comments on: McCain’s Accidental Honesty http://blog.techfun.org/2008/08/mccains-accidental-honesty/ Linux, Politics, Whatever... Thu, 10 Jun 2010 19:23:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Tyson Chaney http://blog.techfun.org/2008/08/mccains-accidental-honesty/comment-page-1/#comment-1192 Tyson Chaney Mon, 25 Aug 2008 15:03:53 +0000 http://blog.techfun.org/?p=984#comment-1192 Thanks for mentioning my post. My site host controls the Google ads so I can't claim credit for it. It seems clear though that McCain's campaign realizes he cannot win the election. His only hope is to force Obama to lose by rendering him unacceptable in places Hillary Clinton fared well during the primary season. Negative ads will work for awhile but the public will eventually tire of them. The odd thing is the general public--not the crowd watching what I called "the Olympics of politics" the other day--knows little about the specific policies of either candidate. Linking Bush to McCain or linking Obama to Hilton does nothing on that front.

I've clicked on a few of the McCain ads too, and the results have bee pretty much the same. All that varies are his "facts" of the day, whether or not he injects ethnicity into the debate, and so on. I don't know if the man is ever gonna earn back the respect he once had from independently minded Democrats. No, he's no maverick.
