Somebody say something

This campaign has gotten dull, dull, dull. McCain and Obama are both playing the four-corner offence so as to give none. It comes naturally to Barack who can say “change” in 47 languages but can’t explain what that means in even one. The McCain “Straight Talk Express” has become the Rovemobile. Paris Hilton has a clearer energy policy than either of them.

Each is waiting for the other to commit the big screw-up, so even as people are deserting the Republican party in droves and swelling the ranks of Democrats, Obama can’t pull away because nobody knows what the guy believes in. And even though he’s a war hero running against a black man with a Muslim-sounding name, McCain can’t either, because he’s stopped saying what he believes. I hope it’s just the dog-day doldrums and things will pick up after the conventions, but this has been a really disappointing month.
