Republican John McCain has some problems that voters are noticing:
1) McCain doesn't look healthy.
2) McCain's supporters don't seem very enthusiastic about his candidacy. It might have something to do with the fact that McCain is repeating the same messages that these Republicans heard from George W. Bush. During news reports that show McCain with at his "town hall" meetings, his audiences look like they are bored to tears.
3) McCain "Straight Talk Express" doesn't seem to have any real straight talk. Do you remember the question he was asked about birth control and Viagara? We're still waiting for a straight answer.
These are just some of my small observations. In our household, when McCain appears on TV, as he did this morning on the Today Show, we just change the channel. We are just not interested in his tired, old message.
On the other hand.............
I was really impressed with the enthusiasm displayed by our troops when they greeted Sen. Obama on his trip to Kuwait, Afghanistan, and Iraq. They know that Sen. Obama has a way to end the war, and get them back home. These same troops will e-mail and phone their family and friends to share their great impressions of Obama. The only problem that might arise will be how the Pentagon manages to lose the ballots of the service members this election. If it appears that overseas military members are moving toward Obama, some of those ballots may get "lost" in the mail.
