stunts and high stakes gambles

How would McCain lead? Look at the way he runs his campaign: lots of stunts and high stakes gambles.

Choosing Sarah Palin - a huge gamble. A now, calling for the debate to be postponed. A total stunt - why not have a robust discussion about the economy before the American people prior to any irrevocable changes? But this move too is a high stakes gamble - Obama says he'll be at his podium tomorow night. It's the political equivellent of calling McCain a pussy if he don't show. The drama McCain has added to the debate ensures it will be more widely watched. Maybe McCain will deliver - Obama is known to be far better with a big audience and a prepared speech than at responding to trick questions on the fly. But if he doesn't, he's going to look like a real smacked ass in front of alot of people.
