Obama also did well. Although McCain won on points, the debate last night was not the knockout punch that he really needed. He needs to really address a number of key issues that will impact swing voters with the overriding theme that we simply can't trust the country to Obama:
1. Who is Obama?: We don't really know him except that he is liberal, will increase taxes, will appoint activist judges, will support abortion on demand (including the murder of babies born alive from a botched abortion) and will dramatically increase the size of government.
2. Obama's judgment is flawed: We need to learn more about his associations with Bill Ayers, the unrepentant terrorist and Jeremiah Wright, the America-hating reverend. CNN recently did a pretty good expose on the relationship and there is no doubt that Obama lied when he said Ayers was a guy who lived in his neighborhood. WHAT ELSE IS HE LYING ABOUT? Ayers created the politician Obama and that association in itself should in normal times disqualify him for the office.
3. His promise to lower taxes for 95% of Americans is a lie: He makes the unsupported claim that 95% of small businesses make under $250K. The average McDonalds franchise generates $1.7MM in revenue and $300K-$400K in profit. This claim needs to be debunked. And besides, his numbers don't begin to add up.
4. He and Joe Biden are consistently wrong on national security issues: He was wrong on invading Pakistan, he was wrong on the surge, he was wrong about what would happen with a premature withdrawal from Iraq, and I don't have time to recount how many times Biden has been wrong on these issues.
5. Obama has absolutely zero experience to recommend him to the job: He has no legislative accomplishments, his experience as a community organizer "accomplished nothing" according to his supervisor, he has no executive experience and on and on. All he has to his credit is having run a good primary and general election campaign. THAT ALONE IS NO QUALIFICATION FOR PRESIDENT.
McCain needs to hammer home these issues pver and over between now and election day. If he does the race will tighten and McCain will have a shot. And if they have some October surprise they need to bring it out in the next 2 weeks.
