It is all about the story, isn't it Queers? We heard stories from Barack Obama during the primaries. He had so many good stories. Clinton didn't. She was just Hillary, an international political icon. And she lost. She was everything nice and rosy -- in other words, she represented the prosperous past. And Bill was the past.
During the primary process, Obama was seen as the "today" and "tomorrow" guy.
His story spreaded like wildfire. Everyone was energized. Even Oprah cried.
But tomorrow is another story. From tomorrow till November 4th, it will be all about an American Woman, Sarah Palin, the governor of the great state of Alaska.
More than just a lovely lipsticked hockey mom, she brings elegance and maturity to the GOP and our living room. The things with her story -- millions have the same everyday life's story as Sarah Palin. And that is why Obama and his supporters will find it hard to beat in November. McCain had a better pick. A woman, a courageous, young, sophisticated and no nonsense governor of a great state. Obama could have picked a woman also. But he didn't. He was selfish. He knew Hillary was the best VP material. But he was afraid because he knew she would be the better executive for the White House. And because of his inmature and unprofessional decision, we will see Sarah Palin grilling his second man, Biden, blow by blow, in the next VP debate. We don't one to be in Biden's position. Biden is out before he is knocked out of the ring. But McCain is still in the ring. McCain still has a story or two to repurpose or relive or repackage until November. McCain told us his story again last night -- about his past and his bitter sweet memories.
"I have a record and a scar to prove it", he said. Millions were moved and touched. His wife, too. People cried.
Indeed, this election is all about the best story and the best characters will win the White House. People want to hear great stories. Not promises. Not economic plans. Obama must create a new story to win. But from what we see and hear everyday, it is Sarah Palin who has the story we all love to hear everday.
A few things in the Obama camp got rid of the "great progressive transformation" story that helped and propelled him into a rockstar during the primaries against Hillary Clinton. What does he represent now? And how do the Democrats now drive his story? Are they going to come up with a new story or establish a negative story about McCain that sticks in people's mind the way Sarah Palin's beautiful story have stuck on you? Can the Democrats create another winning story that is as compelling as Sarah's? Forget facts. Facts no longer matter in November. It is all about the story. Sarah Palin's story is sticking in you. What is Obama's story now?
