I have been very observant of the candidates and their supporters, I guess partly because of my occupation. I have noticed that McCain is his worst enemy. He has an extreme personality. I watched a wonderful CNN special about McCain's life and he never did anything in a balanced fashion. He did extremely bad in school, he was an extreme womanizer, he was extreme in his military service, nothing was balanced. He has taken this personality problem with him in how he handles his campaign. At the onset of the campaign he vowed to run a clean respectful campaign, at that time I actually respected him (he was being extremely nice) instead of being balanced and being able to disagree with his opponent in a civil manner he did a complete flip and went to the extreme in engaging in gutter tactics. When he is interviewed, when he has a debate and when he is stumping his personality is never balanced. He gets mad if he disagrees with a question or comment, he starts to have awkward body language and facial expressions. It immediately makes a person uninterested in trying to see his views because he just comes off as a person that one cannot reason with. Another extreme in his personality his what he has said and done. Even his most staunch supporters have referred to him as a "different McCain" , this is because he went from being a person that was firm in his beliefs and almost unmovable to being a person that has let his advisors make his decisions for him. We see this in his VP pick. The old McCain would have picked a qualified candidate the new McCain (going from one extreme to another) picked the most unqualified candidate he could find. He went from putting country first to the other extreme of putting country last. His supporters like Giuliani and Romney don't help McCain because they appear extreme and irrational like him. We see his extreme shifts, when one day he is for something and the next day he is against it. One day he attacks with one lie (it does not work) so he attacks with another lie. If McCain would have conducted himself in a calm and approachable manner like his good friend Charlie Crist, I believe McCain would have more people listening to him and believing what he has to say. I have listened to Christ many times and he does not fly off the handle, he does not make outrageous attack statements, he does not throw out a bunch of lies, he is the type of person that one would feel like they could listen to his views, share their views and have an honest discussion about differences. Crist is a balance person and I think if McCain would have surrounded himself with people like him and conducted himself in the manner that Crist does, this would be a much tighter race. Personality and conduct are major factors when trying to win over voters. Before I began researching about Senator Obama it was his calm, confident and intelligent mannerisms that made me want to research him at all. So as I stated at the beginning of this post, McCain is his worst enemy and can only thank himself when he loses November 4th. (sorry for using extreme so much, you get my point) :-)
