McCain gets more AGRESSIVE

Not only did McCain lost his advantage in the polls, but he is attacking Obama in order to get some support by making his opponent look bad. He is raising questions about Obama's background and questioning his truthfulness. Palin is also questioning Obama's Patriotism while raising questions about his connections to William Ayer. Obama reacted by saying that McCain is the only truly angry candidate in this race. Why shouldnt McCain be angry he lost the edge that he had ? A new national poll shows Obama getting a greater edge over McCain. The public precentage of Palin has decreased which is contributing to Obama. McCain is also blaming Obama for the Bailout delay; he claims that Obama didnt act for the problem since he suspended his campaign to focus on the crisis. Obama reacted by saying that when the crisis emerged McCain was the only candidate still trying to "turn the page" by releasing frustrating tirade against him. Obama says that McCain is just trying to ignore the economic crisis because it would hurt the Republican campaign nominee. Obama says that his actions toward the problem was that he encouraged Congress to work on a second stimulus package that would provide direct relief from high gas and food prices.
McCain is trying to raise his supports but he is doing it in a way to make his supporters think less of him, even those who are not sure about considering him. Obama is not taking such drastic measures which may explain why his popularity is rising and the fact that he know how to act under pressure. When McCain was in the lead he didnt change his character, unlike McCain who may be damaging his image.

Candidates bring out their secret weapon

Ever since the election Obama and McCain are stepping up their negative ads about each other to try to win over the narrowing margin of undecided voters. More than 25% of the voters in the last presidential election identified their selves as independents. For Democratic and Republican parties the outcomes are predictable. So its up to the swing votes who really decides on who carry the balance of power. Obama's campaign shows a documentary that tries to draw a parallel between McCain involvement in the "Keating Five" scandal and the current economic crisis. McCain campaign is raising questions about Obama's ties to Bill Ayers; which is the foundingof the radical Weather Underground Alaska Gov.) Pallin is also accusing Obama of "palling around with terrorists who target their own country. John Avion, author of Independent Nation warned that both candidates need to be careful because of hypocrisy is the unforgivable sin in politics. Independent voters are very sensitive to when politics take a negative turn.
Although each candidate has the right method it could easily back fire. McCain lost his lead so his methods are almost predictable. Obama just have to not be too harsh otherwise the difference between him and his opponent would be hard to distinguish. McCain methods are too harsh and he is already loosing the appeal from Palin so his plan is kind of falling apart.
McCain has been doing his best to appear as such a hero in the audience’s eye. For a example he is using his action to suspend his campaign as something so glorifying when there is no solution to the Bail out Plan. Another example is how he is so modest about his life in the militart, however he is using it as a edge. It is a very tactic approach, but it is hard to criticize one candidate when both candidates are trying to win an election.
