A Campaign of Change
The mega-campaign environment of modern politics is fueled by money. McCain has struggled to gain traction in that environment. So, he must look for strategies that will stretch the funding that he has tapped. He has the opportunity to create a new kind of campaign that operates both from the top (traditional) and from the grassroots (usually the domain of 2nd tier candidates). The increasing presence of blogs may help with that grassroots effort. It also will be necessary to re-think the other side of the equation -- the top-down piece. How well Senator McCain does in that area may be an indication of his abilities as Commander in Chief. Campaigning for President on a slim budget? Now that would truly be a campaign of change!

the man escaped death 3 times . He deserves to be President, may even be destined.
He does however need to present in the next few months some VERY Clear cut messages on the economy - no fail type messages, and I feel distance himself from Bushco - be his own man- the blogs may do it
Beneath the Carolina Moon , a favorite of mine is making me laugh over it at last..
