Undecided in Ohio: Leaning toward Obama from WSJ

"The morning after the second presidential debate, over coffee in a booth at a Bob Evans Restaurant where he knows all the waitresses by name, Mr. Sullivan said he is growing impatient with Sen. McCain’s claims that he is a reformer who has crossed party lines to get things done.

“He keeps saying he can reach across the aisle, well he’s been there 26 years, and we’re in a quagmire. If he’s a reformer he’s not a very forceful one is he?”

With disgust dripping from his voice, Mr. Sullivan read aloud a story on page 4B of USA Today about how AIG agents had spent $443,000 on a week-long retreat at a California resort six days after the government bailed them out. When he came to the part about Joseph Cassano, the head of AIG’s finance division, taking home $34 million and then being placed on a $1 million-a-month consulting retainer in February, he smacked the paper.

“They should have had these CEOs in handcuffs yesterday,” he said looking at the accompanying photograph of two former AIG CEOs taking an oath before testifying to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. “I would have liked to have heard someone say ‘Bailiff, bring the shackles.’ I want outrage, I want heads to roll.”

Mr. Sullivan does not believe either Sen. Obama or Sen. McCain is forceful enough to lead the country out of its current economic morass but he is increasingly convinced Sen. McCain is too tied to the special interests in Washington to be given a chance try."

etc.....


we need to reach these undecideds!!!!!!!!!!
