WSJ: McCain "What We're Fight For"

"The presidential election occurs at a pivotal moment. Our nation is fighting two wars abroad, suffers from the greatest global financial crisis since the Great Depression, and is facing a painful recession. I believe in the greatness of America. I believe in our capacity to prosper, and to be safer and remain a beacon of light on the global stage. But we cannot spend the next four years as we have spent much of the last eight: waiting for our luck to change. We have to act immediately. We have to fight for it..."

Joe Biden on Barack Obama

Obama's VP Pick Hardly Inspiring

Barack Obama must think he brings enough excitement to his presidential ticket all by himself.
His selection of Joe Biden as his running mate was hardly bold or inspiring for a campaign that, at its heart, is about change. And adding a longtime Washington insider to the ticket isn't likely to invigorate a campaign that's dropped a few points in the polls, nor will it help Obama in the Western states he so badly needs to win...(click here to read further).

Young Voters Aren't Buying It

Senator McCain, no doubt to the annoyance of Barack Obama and Howard Dean, has made a firm commitment to reach out to demographic blocs traditionally more associated with Democrats, Hispanics and African Americans among them. His willingness to address one such bloc, young voters, through non-traditional mediums and venues seems to be making a dent. Interestingly, McQ at Q and O thinks Obama is slipping among this demographic (perhaps, his most important).
A demographic that Obama is counting on to help make the difference in November may be slipping away… Expectations among youth who tend to be much more idealistic than older voters, are easily crushed.
Indeed: Obama of late has been looking every inch a standard politician and seems to have abandoned the “new politics” the old Obama used to espouse. However, I think it’s also worth noting that in my estimation, Obama’s support for hundreds of billions of dollars in new spending over the course of his first term alone and tax increases aren’t helping him either, given younger voters’ interest in “pocket-book issues” this election.
In the end, I’m betting that John McCain’s record of combating wasteful spending, corruption, and inefficiency at all levels of government, combined with his commitment to low taxes and pursuing a comprehensive, “all of the above” energy plan will have stronger than expected appeal to America’s youth. Certainly, there’s been evidence before in this campaign of younger voters souring on Obama.
