On the Meet the Press roundtable, David Brooks says the Colin Powell endorsement of Obama highlights the weakness in the republican party -- that it's narrowing.
Palin illustrates how it's narrowing, though I wouldn't call it narrowing. I'd call it embarrassing. That's why people are jumping ship and some are moving into the Obama camp. The fact that the republican party has campaigned on smearing Obama as unAmerican is disgusting.
Brooks blames the republican party -- not McCain. But isn't McCain the leader of the republican party? Isn't he supposed to provide guidance?
That's what's sad about McCain. Anyone who's been watching can see that he's been pulled in a million different directions.
McCain lacks leadership abilities. If he was able to lead, he could've let his party in on his vision and told them to go out and sell it. But McCain has no overarching vision to provide.
Joe Scarborough believes that the only reason Obama is ahead is because the economy turned. That's just wrong. For one, the economy didn't just turn. The economy turned a while ago. That's what Obama knows.
