During the last two weeks John McCain the "experience" candidate has been erratic, wrong, and acting desperate. McCain has dropped in the polls because the public is watching his erratic behavior, lack of judgment, and his inability to grasp the current economic crisis. They do not like what they are seeing.
Voters have lost confidence McCain can handle a crisis. On a daily basis McCain shoots from the hip, shows poor judgment, has a temperament problem, which exacerbates this crisis. McCain’s efforts to dominate the daily news cycle have backfired with voters. Each day during this crisis he has lumbered and flailed around looking for a stunt to dominate the news rather then providing a sound steady calming hand. His willingness to do anything, and lie, in order to win, has made this economic crisis worse. Voters can plainly see the impact of McCain’s unsteady hand, poor temperament, and lack of leadership, and they do not like what they are seeing.
Obama has shown displayed calm, steady leadership, sound judgment during this crisis. Obama has been careful not inject presidential politics unnecessarily into an already difficult situation which as we saw with McCain has made the crisis worse.
