Solitude For McCain’s Wordsmith

Posted by: LO in Calabasas, Ca @ 8/26/2008 5:15 AM
I am a retired 35 year experienced speech teacher and coach. Mc Cain needs to stop saying "my friends" immediately, if not yesterday. It is condescending and does not achieve its intended goal of making him appear to be one of us. We Americans do not want to elect one of us, or one of our friends. We want a strong leader, who is honest, clear thinking, personable and with a good track record. His constant , and I do mean constant, attempts to interject "my friends" into his speeches is an annoyance at best. He is losing votes because of this speech pattern, and is endearing himself to no one ! Hopefully somebody who is reading this can get the message to him.

McCain will do alright as long as they keep it simple, I think McCain should be asked how many houses do 150,000 Iraq vets own. It's an eazy number....Zero
We have 150,000 homeless vets, If there is any similarity between Vietnam and Iraq that's it.
