The Choice is Clear

Posted by on Oct 28, 2008 in Political | Comments Off I can’t keep quiet any longer.  It frustrates me that McCain has such a difficult time stating his case clearly.  For some reason he continues to want to play nice instead of simply laying out the stark contrast between the two candidates.  With only one week left, his only chance is some hard-hitting bluntness; but it appears that he is going to succumb to guilt by...
