McCain "Creeping Up" on Obama

Obama screwed up BIG with "Joe the Plumber."Hugh Hewitt (prime blogger and radio host) says, "The steady creep in the polls for John McCain continues, with Ohio showing one respectable poll tipping the state back toward McCain by a point for the first time in over a month. It's not because of Colin Powell's ho-hum endorsement of Barack Obama. That only excites the media elite. It's because McCain is closing the deal with independents over Obama's socialist policy plans, Joe the Plumber, and Sarah Palin." Joe the Plumber hurt him bad; not because he said Obama's ideas "sound like socialism to me (which is true)," but because of Obama's answer, "We want to 'share the wealth," which IS socialism. We find out more about Obama when he's not "scripted" than we ever do in his speeches, which are always geared to tell us what we want to hear. It's because of Sarah Palin, who brought a lot of excitement to the McCain campaign and a lot of FEAR to the Obama campaign. They wet their pants at the sound of her name. They're trying their best to destroy her because of that. They hope they can minimize her effect, and that will be very hard to do. (Hugh Hewitt)
