To preface this post- I'm a liberal Republican. I based my voting decision on the fact that I feel one candidate is hiding their true colors less than the other. Also, I am not unhappy with my country and don't feel that a complete change of every system we have in place is necessary. I would like for this to be a very open discussion, minus any name calling or underhanded comments. However, I understand this is an open forum, and I'm not trying to control anyone. I would really like this to be a nice intellectual converstaion about campaign strategies, from both sides.
For the last couple weeks talking with friends, I've felt that the McCain camp hasn't done all that it needed to do in order to show people exactly why they "shouldn't" vote Obama. (ie, prior voting records) I've been adamant about the fact that he should have bought time on national channels, in the middle of prime time, and strictly show things that he has been expecting the voting public to look-up on their own...
Well this morning on the news, I hear that Obama is doing just that. On THREE separate channels for 30 minutes each. Why did this not occur to the McCain camp?
And really... ANOTHER "Joe the Plumber Rally"? Am I missing something? They aren't doing these in Texas and I don't understand their basis.
Does anyone else feel this way, or similar? Honestly, maybe it's because I'm in Texas, and no one really cares about our voting public (as of yet...), but I almost feel slighted by McCain's campaign. Like they haven't really exhausted all the efforts they could have. (On as side note, I know many Dems that feel slighted that state's like ours are completely forgetten about after the primaries.)
Just my thoughts.
