McCain was not the old. i still don't buy the rhetoric, and neither does obama:
"Senator Obama told Senator McCain he was consistently someone who has showed class and honor during this campaign as he has during his entire life in public service," Gibbs said in a statement. "Senator Obama said he was eager to sit down and talk about how the two of them can work together."
Gibbs quoted Obama as saying to McCain: "I need your help, you're a leader on so many important issues"
McCain was never a Bush. He was one of the most popular and progressive senators working across party lines. It was his undoing that Obama's rhetoric stuck to him, and then it became a major issue, because his advisors began to model his behavior and his own rhetoric in a way that reinforced it.
The reality is this:
Obama had to campaign longer and more and spend more money, and get people who never EVER voted. he did not win the election until he redefined it... and some of it was playing dirty... but if a president can't play dirty, he wont do anything.
i am more excited to see a president get line by line veto authority. that is a bold step no one trusted bush with...
but obama's first step has to be to go back and WRECK the congress - which is against the will of the people... and that will require some serious work; cause those are democrats in charge.
