At a campaign stop in North Carolina, on May 5th, Barack Obama was asked how he will win the general election against John McCain. After taking 15 seconds to begin his answer, he began this long-winded soliloquy about how he’s been the underdog since the beginning of this race, and concluded three minutes later with, how after he is the nominee, Democrats will rally together to defeat the Republican nominee.
Unfortunately, Obama the constitutional law professor surfaced to answer what could have and should have been a short, persuasive answer. So, just in case Obama is asked this question again, the simple answer is:
There is a vast ideological and practical difference between me and Senator John McCain. I’m for universal health care; he’s not. I’m for middle class tax cuts; he’s not. I’m for bringing our troops home from Iraq. He says he’s for keeping our troops in Iraq as long as it takes.
The differences between me and Senator John McCain are stark. And once I become the nominee of the Democratic party, I’m confident that our party will rally together because we realize the stakes are too high and this choice too important. We cannot afford four more years of Bush policies.
So I’ll will win on the policy front. I will win with a broad-based coalition of everyday Americans from all across the country. Lastly, I will win because the American people want change. They want an America that can restore it’s standing in the world and restore the American dream for ALL Americans. We can do that. And with your help, we will.
