As a spiritual-futurist my commentaries and articles deal primarily with an interpretation of current events in light of macro-universal forces at play.
Wednesday belonged to Sarah Barracuda, but Thursday night is for the ex-prisoner of war, John McCain. After Thursday evening, it's time for the sixty day run to election day. Republicans Wednesday launched a full-throated counterpunch at the media's scrutiny of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and accused the media of wanting to "destroy" John McCain's vice presidential pick. But John is more than happy and excited at his maverick pick.
There were the days when John McCain was written off. He was running 5th or 6th among the top Republican nominees. He was out of money, carrying his own luggage, and only a couple of reporters were even reporting on hiw whereabouts. That was then, this is now.
Yesterday Fred Thompson blew the trumpet for John. Actor and former Sen. Fred Thompson, who briefly ran for president himself before dropping out in January, gave the speech that most roused the tens of thousands of Republican faithful at the convention. "John McCain's character has been tested like no other presidential candidate in the history of this nation," Thompson said, contrasting him with Obama, whom he labeled the "most liberal, most inexperienced nominee to ever run for president."
Of McCain, he said: "It's pretty clear there are two questions we will never have to ask ourselves, 'Who is this man?' and 'Can we trust this man with the Presidency?'" He recounted McCain's years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam, telling the story of the downed Navy flier's fortitude in the face of physical and mental abuse. "We hear a lot of talk about hope," Thompson said, a reference to Obama's main campaign theme. "John McCain knows about hope. That's all he had to survive on."
We will soon get to the three debates and of course the vice presidentual debate which might even draw more attention than John and Barack. That's where I believe this race will be won and lost. One things that's for sure is that the ABORTION issue is now front and center. Obama is no longer trying to hide where he stands- 100% pro choice.
Finally what appears to me as the battle is that of traditional values versus secularism. Obama has taken the stand that traditional values no longer hold the majority in toe while John McCain is focusing his effort on family values and issues tht have been under attack for decades now. We'll soon see where America stands.
