The rapidly changing (some may say deteriorating) world scene is shifting the electoral landscape rapidly. A suddenly renascent Cold War, characterized by an oil-rich and aggressive Russia and a resource-hungry China, has thrust foreign policy front and center. Not surprisingly, this favors Republicans, and, by extension, John McCain. The fact that, simultaneously, Iraq appears to be fading as a policy millstone only enhances McCain’s newfound momentum. Notwithstanding the fact that Election 2008 should favor Democrats, the public still gives the national security/foreign policy edge to Republicans. Admittedly, the McCain camp captured the campaign momentum by cleverly likening Obama’s “rock star status” to that of Britney Spears/Paris Hilton in terms of vapidity. It’s a momentum that has since accelerated given Russia’s recent aggression against it’s Georgian neighbors and the attendant realignment of Eastern Europe into America’s orbit. For those of us who came of age during the Reagan Administration, it’s deja vu all over again. As such, this is hardly the time to entrust the executive branch of the American government to an inexperienced young man armed with little more than a dazzling smile and a boatload of good intentions - perhaps. We at Patriot Games Radio maintain our assertion that Obama’s quest for the presidency will fall short, for a variety of reasons including:
The  “Annoy the media, Vote McCain” crowd and general voter disgust of Obama’s pompous preening. Add to this mix the re-emergence of Foreign Policy and National Security as primary campaign issues, and victory almost assuredly belongs to John McCain. At least until tomorrow unfolds. Stay tuned.
