What if you gave a party and no one came? That was the exact problem that the Republicans had. President Bush was to appear at a public venue for McCain. However, the McCain campaign could not sell enough tickets to use a large public venue. The event will be moved to a private home with only special "invited" guests. President Bush will appear with McCain, but the press will not be there to take photos. McCain seems to want it both ways. He needs Bush to raise money from the party faithful, but he doesn't want average Americans to see them together.
McCain has nothing new to offer the American people except a continuation of the the Iraq War and the same worn out policies of the Bush administration. Obama is our only chance to end the war in Iraq and bring new ideas to solving our problems.
