Naturally, I agree.

I think what has turned me off to McCain most of all is how he didn't remain true to himself. He picked Sarah Palin, when I think his preference was one of the names that goombah cited. He went negative after promising he wouldn't. He turned his very pretty running mate into a hate- and fear-mongerer who would do the vast majority of the dirty work for him. His little "stunts" like seizing on Joe the Plumber and suspending his campaign have revealed a very sloppy and reactionist side. And I think that he turned off a lot of people who might have voted for him.

Obama has remained unruffled throughout. He's never lost his temper. He never took the bait. And he hammered his points home, day after day.
