McCain has demonstrated again and again during this campaign that he is more “diva” than “maverick” (i.e., more selfish than selfless) and it just keeps getting him into trouble. Undecided voters care about temperament. Challenge them to focus on carefully observing and evaluating his behavior. There is a lot being written on this subject this week—here are just a couple of good posts that I found:
** “Calm, Methodical Obama vs. Angry, Ungracious McCain” The Huffington Post (Amb. Richard C. Holbrooke) http://www.huffingtonpost.com/amb-richard-c-holbrooke/calm-methodical-obama-vs_b_130343.html Excerpt: “The gambling, brawling style of John McCain has its attractive side to Americans, but it is not what we need in the White House in these troubled times.”
** “America Wants a President, Not a Drama Queen” The Huffington Post (Oliver Willis) http://www.huffingtonpost.com/oliver-willis/america-wants-a-president_b_129844.html Excerpt: “John McCain is... RuPaul…When [he] is not the focus of attention, he makes two snaps and screams for attention.”
