Senator McCain has responded by going all in with Gov. Sarah Palin. Instead of a promise of future change and breaking with politics as usual, McCain has delivered it. The desperation on Obama’s part is evident today as the headlines are about his comments that he really is more experienced than her — the very discussion that Obama and his supporters had desperately hoped to avoid.
In his selection of Gov. Palin, McCain has exposed what was perhaps Obama’s greatest weakness, namely how the Obama project has really been a last-ditch attempt by Democrats to extend the miserable life of the New Deal/Great Society Democratic Party — the very bloated big government model they have pushed with the past three candidates: Al Gore, John Kerry, and now Barack Obama. Can anyone really tell the difference between these political triplets?
Make no mistake; Democrats are frantic now that the man behind the curtain has been revealed. Despite their shameless attempt to mask their plans behind identity politics, the Obama campaign has always been about big government liberalism, labor union dinosaurs, and K Street fat-cat lobbyists — Washington politics as usual. America saw this with his vice-presidential pick, Joe Biden.
It was obvious that the Biden selection was about bootstrapping Barack Obama’s very meager political credentials, but what this pick really represented was entrenching the Washington, DC, of yesterday and today, not a reform platform for tomorrow. Biden was an audible to the Democratic Party’s base that there would be plenty of room for all the snouts at the tax trough. Does anyone really believe that there will be substantive personnel and policy changes in an Obama administration? John McCain, however, has craftily exposed how Obama’s narrative about change and the future have been a farce. Joe Biden is now a dead weight on the Democratic ticket, and no doubt Obama and the Democrats are having some buyer’s remorse.
