Why was I even worried?

Last time at this year, I had dropped some coin on the John McCain Presidential Campaign and I thought to myself, “Man, I like the guy, and I think he’ll be the best leader, but it seems like he is dead in the water.” Then the Campaign called asking for more money, and I thought, “Am I sending good money after bad?” (BTW, good money after bad is a time honored Reschly tradition)

Well you know how this story ends up: Johnny Mac stays strong, reiterates his message, and delivers crucial wins in crucial states and wins the Republican nomination.

So, I must be a whimpering moron. Everyone was writing J.McC. off for the general election. Everybody and their brother were saying it was going to be Obama in a landslide. The doom and gloom talk about the McCain campaign was so intense, that my loyalty was beginning to be shaken.

Then, as if it were a pedantic Rocky movie, the McCain Campaign started counterpunching and hurting the Obama Campaign. The McCain Campaign is attacking the Obama Campaign using, well, attack ads. The weird thing is that all the Obama Campaign can do is defend. If the Obama Campaign can ever get on the offensive, it will be worse than the beating Draggo put on Apollo Creed. But, and there is a but at this point, the Obama Campaign seems unable to take the initiative – they’re not a dollar short, but they are four or five days short. Weird.

I am optimistic about McCain’s chances (Zogby has McCain up 42 to 41 now) but I have to remember than, despite a great performance, Rocky lost to Apollo in the first Rocky.

Later,
