Current Event Number 3

With 25 days left in the election, and John McCain trailing slightly behind Obama, McCain, according to the Washington Post, as decided the attack the campaign in a new way. Lately, McCain has been playing "Mr. Nice Guy" with his strategy, although Obama is attacking him with ads about his character. Now, McCain feels that he must do the same. McCain's new campaign strategy is going to be to focus more heavily on Obama's character. Some people believe that this is taking away from the real issues of the campaign. Others believe it is McCain's only hope to get some unsure votes. To me, I think McCain has already done enough in focusing on this issues, because he has said what his opinions are and what he agrees or disagrees with. Now, the man has to do what he has to do to get him that (probably comfy) chair in the Oval Office. To see how this new way of rhetoric has worked in the passed week, and since we've been focusing a lot on polls, I went on CNN. com to see what the people were saying this week. According to the map, it seems that regular areas (Northeast and West Coast) are for Obama, and middle America is for McCain. Obama is leading with 49% of the votes and McCain is behind with 42%. 9% of states are unsure.  Maybe this new rhetoric needs more time, or maybe it's just not working at all. Since polls are really accurate, and sometimes the best fortune tellers, it will make November 4th and interesting day. Check it out at CNN.com under politics!
