Obama appears to be side-stepping Clinton, tackling McCain
Remember that often-quoted line from the baseball-diamond-in-a-corn-field-movie? “If you build it they will come,” or something like that I think.
That appears to be Barak Obama’s latest campaign tactic: If I ignore Hillary’s continuing campaign and take shots directly at John McCain, people will get over Hillary and support me. At least it looked that way today when he jumped on Sen. McCain for McCain’s failure to support a veteran’s educational benefits bill of some sort. (I think that was the gist of the bill?)
It could be an effective tactic. Sort of like that philosophy of life that makes the rounds periodically through every generation, “the Secret,” or whatever. You know the philosophy I’m talking about: If I visualize riches, if I think and convince myself I’m rich, riches will flow my way. Yeah, well, I think Obama’s chances are a little better than that. At any rate, by side-stepping any campaigning against Clinton to go directly after McCain, he’s focusing already on the general election. Surely he realizes the simple math is in his favor and Clinton’s virtually lost but hasn’t yet stopped campaigning.
Now, for taking on McCain, it probably isn’t the smartest move for Obama to go straight at McCain’s strength — his military career, former POW status, and his popularity among veterans. Might want to rethink that one. Time will tell.
