As for Obama

My blogging tonight so far has been very McCain-centric. That's because he is the one who needs to make up ground. But it's also because Obama is Steady Eddie. He remains on an even keel. He sounds and looks good: reasonable, thoughtful, knowledgeable. It's not that he is saying anything in particular that is a home run, but he is hitting double after double after double. He never strikes out. He never overruns the base. he never gets picked off. And he also never takes a risk. Darn him. He is wrong on so many subjects. But he doesn't leave himself open for any easy ways to show he is wrong.
