What McCain Doesn't Know

the differences between mccain and obama are like the grand canyon, to use john mccain's future hiking spot. but i would disagree with number 5. i think many of us are interested in foreign policy because we can see the connection between it and our standing in the world as well as the link between foreign policy and our economy. but i guess his point is when americans are hurting they don't care about much else than stopping the hurt.

time:

1. The astonishing enthusiasm that Obama inspires in his supporters — and how much it contrasts with the respect, but not passion, McCain enjoys from his own backers. (And the size of Obama’s crowds…)

2. The “Major League vs Little League” difference between Obama’s infrastructure and his own.

3. The inherent difficulty/sensitivity of running against two figures at once. McCain will have to 1) explicitly criticize a sitting Republican president before Republican audiences and 2) prevent the historic event of electing the nation’s first African-American president that many in the country (and the media) desire.

4. The ever-present danger on the trail that he might evoke Bob Dole with a Bob Dole-like misstep (fall off a stage, sound like a Washington fossil, seem angry and out of touch).

5. How little most Americans care about foreign policy (beyond the Iraq War) when the economy is in the tank.
