Comments on: John McCain’s A-minus Campaign http://www.gaypatriot.net/2008/09/12/john-mccains-a-minus-campaign/ The Internet home for American gay conservatives.

Change you can trust contrasts beautifully with change you can believe in. Everyone wants change, only with a team that we can trust to implement it. If you're in a tough spot, you want someone to come to help you that you can trust, not someone you believe may want to help you. John McCain, polls show, is rated as highly qualified and highly trusted. This slogan, change you can trust, reinforces this message. It can even be added on to John McCain’s current slogan. Country first, change you can trust. Or perhaps Change you can trust that puts Country first. Or how about Change you can trust that puts America first It implies without directly saying it that the other side is perhaps a little less trustworthy. It also reinforces the message that in a time we were facing battle with Al Qaeda worldwide and two conventional wars, John McCain is a commander in chief you can trust to lead us to victory. There are 30 days left before Election Day. Sarah Palin’s debate performance was good, but it's really up to John McCain to win. CHANGE You Can TRUST CHANGE You Can TRUST to put COUNTRY FIRST CHANGE You Can TRUST to put AMERICA FIRST CHANGE - TRUST COUNTRY FIRST John, are you listening??? http://strategicthought-charles77.blogspot.com/2008/10/change-you-can-trust-slogan-that-could.html Change you can trust, a slogan that could turn around McCain’s campaign?

She felt that her films until then had never given audiences a character to which they could warm up. Men thought her too independent and masculine, and women felt she was too perfect and not vulnerable enough. She credits this scene for finally presenting to the audience a persona that was more human. (I got that from the Dick Cavett interview with Hepburn that was recently showed on Turner Classic).

Slight apology here for the high emotion level in my first comment. I shouldn't be surprised by anything Obama does - but I was. Compounding that surprise, I was surprised that I could still be surprised. I had thought I was more cynical than that. P.S. Slight apology here for the high emotion level in my first comment.

“So, when American workers hear John McCain talking about putting ‘Country First,’” Obama said, “it’s fair to ask –- which country?” [thus genuinely questioning McCain's patriotism]

On a day in which they both questioned a war hero’s patriotism and mocked his lack of physical dexterity, it is clear to the non-Kool Aid drinkers that the Obama camp jumped the shark into netroot land… is it any wonder that Independent voters are fleeing to McCain?

Is it possible there are Clintonites in his midst, sabatoging his campaign? It seems most of these wounds are self inflicted. Mark Penn, Clintons former pollster came out today blasting the BHO strategy. How does a leftist candidate with 85% of the media on his side implode like this. Sarah is a superstar and has put a hex on them. The Obama Wright Biden ticket was not ready for prime time.

Obama has reached a low where he reeks on his own, McPalin don't need to point it out anymore. They should focus on their positive message of reform, fiscal conservatism - and drill, baby, drill! Peter - how is it going? Keep us posted. One more thought on Obama - hey Barry, way to insult older generations, who also have trouble with e-mail for different reasons! I mean, now that you've done women and all! Let's see, what other groups of VOTERS, whose VOTES you need, can you and your gang of 6th-graders try to insult? SCR, I agree.
