McCain: Fighter Pilot or Wimp?


Governor Sarah Palin rose to the challenge of Thursday night's debate and breathed new life into the McCain campaign.

For the last 2-3 weeks, the campaign was knocked off stride partly due to its own doing (McCain's lackluster debate performance with Obama and his stupid campaign suspension) and partly due to situations beyond its control (the Wall Street Meltdown).

People were wondering if Palin would be able to handle the 90 minute debate with Sen. Joe Biden after the horrid Katie Couric interview. Well, she exceeded pretty much everyone's expectations and did very well. It was the return of Sarah "Barracuda."

Now that she revived the McCain campaign, it will be his turn to deliver the goods.

But will he?

While McCain more than held his own during the last debate, he missed a lot of opportunities to put Obama away. With 30 days left in the campaign, there is no time left for any mistakes. He needs to be more aggressive and fight for the presidency.

The times call for an extraordinary leader and Obama does not fit that description by any stretch of the imagination. We cannot afford to have the country placed in the hands of an inexperienced leftist.

McCain, it is said, does better when he's behind. I hope that's true. But who will show up next Tuesday night for the debate? A fighter pilot or a wimp?

McCain has said that he wants to run an "honorable campaign" and wants to be "bi-partisan." It is fine and dandy to be bi-partisan. But you can only do it once you're elected, not before. A campaign is a battle! And in order to wage a battle you have to be a fighter, not a wimp. There is no dishonor in running an aggressive campaign, just as long as it is being run honestly. There is no substitute for victory!

McCain the fighter pilot needs to show up Tuesday night and take the battle to Obama. McCain needs to put him away! If he debates like he did the last time, he may as well hang it all up. Who is ever inspired to follow a wimp?

Senator McCain, it is up to you to pull this off! Leave the wimp at home, bring the fighter pilot with you to the debate!
