Who is John McCain? Yes, he's busy now running for the Republican nomination but, since he's going to be nominated, he needs to pay attention to the messages he is (un)consciously sending to Democrats and independents. For instance he needs to be more judicious about the use of the phrase "my friends" — this is a McCain trademark, it's powerful and attention getting, people almost stop breathing when he utters those two words, wanting to hear what's next.
Kathryn Jean Lopez made a good point today when she suggested that McCain needs to build a solid wall between his performance and voting record in the senate vs. Obama's and McCain hasn't been doing that. Obama talks about change but McCain has already voted and acted for change. Big difference.
