Wow. Bitter and suffering from Alzheimer's. That must be tough on you.

In a nutshell, he views Obama as the same as Bush, (Uniter, Change, Washington outsider claims... sound familiar?) but on the opposite side of the scale.

[...]

Both the geography of the Democratic Presidential nominee's day and the unpartisan, somewhat Presidential tone of his speeches are indicators of his sense of the shape of the race, where it appears clear that the margin of victory in a three-way contest between Mr. Clinton, Mr. Bush and Ross Perot will be decided by independent and Republican voters.

[...]

In matters oratorical, Mr. Clinton has all but abandoned the sort of partisan language used energize core supporters, turning instead to a feel-good theme intended to reach and reassure the Republican voters and the independent voters who were once supporters of Mr. Perot.

Speaking at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas this morning, he sketched a picture of a nation beset by an oppressive variety of ills but also facing an opportunity for "the greatest 20 years in our history." He urged his listeners to vote for him, not as a Democrat, but as a sort of national redeemer, a figure who would end the divisions of politics and move the country into a vague but glowing future.

well Joe I depend on all seeing all knowing people like you to help me struggle through my day.... and I feel a little let down when you can't deliver.

from this desk it looks like the platform is about the package, not the content

not saying it's the truth - but that is my perception of what I'm watching - a reaction to an effort (I don't know where it originates) to have the packaging valued, instead of the content









(and I'm not in agreement with the content - both significant American candidates are too far to the right for me, too attached to big business and lobbyists)
