Mccain And Obama Becoming Twins

Since securing the nominations of their respective parties, John McCain and Barack Obama have moved from their opposing right and left sides, toward each other. They are each approaching center. They both understand that winning the party nomination called for extremes. McCain with the hard-line conservative, stand behind the President, kind of rhetoric won the Republican nomination. Obama, the black liberal with tolerance and ending the war as his sword, wore down Hillary Clinton and secured the delegates necessary for victory.

Now they will begin to sound more like each other when they campaign, with only a few differences becoming focal points to demonstrate their opposing philosophies. As we will hear only of those few, repeatedly broadcast to pain our senses, we will assume that they differ on every issue.


In one example McCain has urges an "all of the above" strategy to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. So does Barack Obama when he talks about an "all hands on deck" approach. Neither man has come up with the plan that actually meets that sound bite, but both are saying the same thing in different ways.

McCain, early in his campaign to secure the nomination stated that Iraq could be years of struggle (often quoted by others as 100 years) with our troops involved, to solve the problem. Obama promised an immediate withdrawal of the troops if he became President. Now that they are the candidates for President, each says that withdrawal can not happen immediately and will take as long as 18 months to complete.
