I have a theory about this.
Obama is doing this, to make himself more known to people, (duh) however if you look at the stats from 2004, 2000, and so forth, you'll see a steady decline in people voting. More so the 18-30 bracket.
So, Obama is making it seem more "flashy" to draw attention to himself, for that specific age bracket.
However, the catch 22, is its also making Mccain more popular because Obama is mentioning Mccain and people want to know what the other side has to say. Only Mccain isn't spending the millions that Obama is making himself more flashy.
The point: is to get more people to vote either way. Only the Dem's decided to make a flasher approach and to spend more money to make them seem more "popular" but I think its going to backfire in the long run, but who knows. Like I said, its also making the Rep's more popular and they don't have to spend the money like the Dem's do.
Also the Dem's are just going to blame Bush for everything (like he had any power anyway when in fact its the SENATE and the CONGRESSMAN that control most of what the President does) and say that Mccain is exactly like Bush, which is definately not true. Mccain is more liberal than Bush, and sways on a lot of issues that Bush didn't.
Thats just my thoughts.
I'm voting for Mccain,however I'm very hesitate on who he picks for VP. And just very hesistate overall.
I definately don't like Obama's VP, being for the IRAA, and against Peer-2-Peer downloading and he wants to spend a BILLION dollars on monitoring P2P websites. Yeah..don't think so.
Also another quick point.
Mccain wanted to do 10 debates through the summer - november instead of these conventions to let the American people know about either canidate. Obama rejected infavor of the conventions.
Instead we are only have 3 debates.
