Comments on: Cartoon of the week - 7/20 http://foodpluspolitics.com/2008/07/20/cartoon-of-the-week-720/ A lot of chatter about food ( plus a little about politics ) Thu, 04 Dec 2008 16:28:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: ellaella http://foodpluspolitics.com/2008/07/20/cartoon-of-the-week-720/#comment-3414 ellaella Mon, 28 Jul 2008 14:33:44 +0000 http://foodpluspolitics.com/2008/07/20/cartoon-of-the-week-720/#comment-3414 Thanks and good to see you! I'm curious too and can't wait to hear his acceptance speech at the convention. That should be the signpost and road map. It's tricky to distance himself from Bush but Gore did it in 2000 after Lewinsky and all the other negatives from the Clintons. I think pocketbook issues could be key this year. Food and energy prices are hurting many people (not all, of course) and promises of relief have done well historically, all the way back to "a chicken in every pot." Thanks and good to see you!

It's far from clear to me where McCain can go here. The link with Bush is not helpful. With Obama taking a harder line on foreign policy since the nomination, it doesn't leave him with too much room for manoeuvre. Unless he turns really aggressive. Historically, I have the feeling that warmongering and sabre-rattling go down well with electorates. Let's hope he doesn't succumb. <em>Roads's last blog post..<a href='http://roadsofstone.com/2008/07/23/188-the-eagle-and-the-shark-british-open-2008/' rel="nofollow">188.
