Slow Death of an Empire
So now McCain is trying desparately to postpone the first debate with Obama, and he’s trying to use the current financial crisis as an excuse. As I observe the happenings of the past week, I’ve noticed that there’s a pattern emerging in the McCain campaign that becomes clearer as the campaign wears on. They have painted Obama as the inexperienced neophyte, but then try to hold him responsible for everything wrong with DC (gas prices, financial crisis, etc.). They constantly underestimate him, and he consistently exceeds their expectations.
The inconvenient truth that they are unable to face is that the old Washington establishment (both Democrats and Republicans) are afraid of Barack Obama. More generally, they are afraid of what he represents. What he represents is the shifting of the balance of power that has been happening in this country for decades. The old establishments that have held onto power throughout the history of this country are slowly becoming extinct. Those who are left are desparately clinging to a fallen empire, and a new era is coming. Even if Obama loses, it doesn’t mean the end of the ideas and the hope that he has started. As with all things, their time is coming to an end. The old guard is dying, and the actions of McCain/Palin and their GOP alies represent the final death throes of the fallen beast.
