McCain gaining traction

Senator John McCain clearly won the night at yesterday's "Political Forum" on CNN hosted by Pastor Rick Wilson. As one analyst put it, "the Straight Talk Express clearly had a full tank of gas". McCain was focused, articulate, and most of all, "conservative". His best line of the night that drew the most applause from the Evangelical crowd, "I'm pro-life and my administration will employee pro-life policies". It's only taken 18 months or so, but perhaps Senator McCain is finally getting it. Senator Obama, on the other hand, was less effective. The media, and the Republicans, are picking up on the fact that when Obama does not have a teleprompter in front of him, he's much less charismatic. Clearly, Senator Obama had a bad week. Look for him to rebound this week though I'm sure McCain will get a big boost in fundraising...Speaking of fundraising, President Bush continues to impress even though his approval number are some of the lowest of presidency. An AP report out Friday suggests that President Bush has raised nearly $1 billion in his eight years as president. At a recent fundraiser in California that lasted ninety minutes, Bush raised close to $95,000.00 a minute. While John McCain does not want the President stumping with him on the campaign trail, President Bush can be an enormous asset behind the scenes raising money for McCain and the Republican party.

There are 79 days until the presidential election. And, it's been 2,732 days since there's been a terrorist attack on US soil. Good day and God bless!
