What Will Be The Deciding Factor?

Voters are still making up their minds and the pools have been pretty even lately. In the last week though, all that has been talked about has been the economy. And take a wild guess on who leads now. “A new CNN/Opinion Research Corporation Poll suggests that by a 2-to-1 margin, Americans blame Republicans over Democrats for the financial crisis that has swept across the country the past few weeks.” Could the economy be the deciding factor in this election? There is a good chance. Obama now leads by 5 points, which is not a substantial difference, but puts him ahead. People want to see change in the economy and Obama is offering that. It is definitely not easy to be the republican candidate right now, thanks to Bush. And to be honest, I give a lot of credit to McCain for making the election this close.

It is unquestionable that the theme of this campaign has been, and will continue to be, change. Obama has a more Challenger Style than McCain does, and right now people are responding to that. Obama seems to have more energy, more of a fire when he speaks. He is very good at getting the crowd excited and involved, and he always seems to take an offensive position on issues. It is undeniable that he is a better orator that McCain. But McCain is making a very conscious effort to make people believe that he will bring change as well. On the video attached at the end of this post, you can hear McCain say: “Change is coming to a neighborhood near you.” So who will the American public believe? I’m not sure. But I do think that the candidate who can convey the message of change (especially economy change) and emphasize optimism for the future, will win the election.
