"Where the news, sports, and opinion collides"
John McCain has three things he must accomplish, or he will lose the election, in historic fashion. It is that simple, no less, no more. If the McCain/Palin ticket is to take the White House (even if they do, it will only be by 2-4 points), they must:
1. Keep on the offensive on the judgement and character of Barack Obama and Joe Biden. They have to lay off of the Williams "Bill" Ayers connection, and go to Tony Rezco, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, and some Bill Ayers. The fact Obama's whole campaign and political history has been one calculation, after another, must be spelled out. McCain must show how Rev. Wright's church was going to "literally" be shut down, within months, until he changed his church's message (Trinity United Christian Church), to a black theological system/congregation. This transfer of message, happened when Obama was blowing into the "Windy City." Ayers was Obama's ticket into the fast lane, but Wright's over the top rhetoric and lack of theological judgement was his ticket into the black community. Ayers and Wright led Obama into many meetings, with many different political and economic characters. Tony Rezco was the next step, on the stepping stone, of Obama's career. Rezco was Obama's "Financial Advisor" for years, according to Barack's own words. The three people above, have to be brought into the public's view, as the major/mainstream media is not concerned with any of these people, or problems. McCain has to focus on the multiple felon Rezco (on charges of fraud, perjury, and other economic charges) and Wright, especially. They were the two people, in Obama's life, who were the biggest impact and closest friends. They are also the biggest political and legal liabilities, to Obama.
2. McCain has to be spectacular in the debate. He must come out swinging, bring the above into play, and he must do it in a fashion stimulating, showing passion, and most of all making the American people feel him.
3. Fourteen to twelve days before the election, McCain must do something never done in Presidential politics. He must announce three to five of his cabinet members. Coming out, in a major press conference, stating Palin is my vice president. Rudi Guiliani is going to be my Attorney General, and with his office he intends to hammer and prosecute anyone outside the law, call for hearings, and cast a complete light on the whole economic scandal. Mitt Romney, or someone of his stature (Americans know), is going to be my Secretary of the Treasury, and he will be cleaning up and making things right for the middle class. Joe Lieberman is going to be my Secretary of Defense. Showing McCain and Palin are ready to work across the aisle, stating Lieberman and McCain are close and will be able to work, as such. He may even go as far, to bring up someone like Kay Bailey-Hutchinson, as a United Nations liaison.
Without these three things, McCain is going to lose the election by 12-18 points. That is the bottom line.
