March 26, 2008: McCain, Clint and the whole damn thing

As you can read on PJ, I was over at the Bonaventure today, checking out McCain's big foreign policy speech (nothing too new there). Had to get up way early in the morning to get downtown, so excuse any inaccuracies. I know, I know, I'm not as old as McCain, so I shouldn't complain. Speaking of which, the guy is something of a wonder. Full of energy at whatever Methusalah-like age he is. Isn't 70 the new 28? He did seem a little tired reading his prepared text, however, but sprang to life... as I indicated in my piece... during the Q&A.

We're doing a video in and around this event and Cong. Brad Sherman's counter speech. Bill Bradley and I will be interviewing Sherman. It will be interesting to see how he differentiates himself from McCain. Let's hope it's not just talking points.... zzzz...

UPDATE: Although a link on Drudge claims the pastor flap has not hurt Obama, that is only true versus Hillary. Versus McCain, Obama continues to fall. Rasmussen daily tracking now shows McCain up by ten over Obama for the first time.

Very interesting. I am writing because I wanted to re-read your poem about Obama, but now all the links you originally had in it have been disabled. I read it all too quickly when it was first on PM, and I didn't have time to click on the links. Now the poem is accessible in the PM archives, but without the links. Is there any way to reactivate them?

If the pastor flap isn't hurting Obama ,but Obama is nevertheless falling vs. McCain, then that could be excellent news for McCain.

The pastor thing will likely fade somewhat, but if the change in polls is occurring for other reasons then it could signify a longer-term trend.

I've got Prager in the background and he's revisiting McCain's speech of yesterday. Prior speech Prager mentioned that, I think it was Ellen Goodman mentioning that McCain is just too old to be running. His comment was that, aren't the libs the party of equal opportunity for us old guys. Guess not anymore!!!
