What I'd like to see to sell my mother

originally a blog post..

OK Team McCain here is what I, a Democrat, want to hear. Here's what may get my mother's vote, a lifelong dem voting dem because she knows nothing else and hates negative ads.

And I hope others make this thread something the McCain communications team should want to read. No bashing them because..

I'm sick of complaining. I'm sick of people saying what they don't like about the ads for John McCain.

I believe in the optimism and positive nature of Sarah Palin. Constant promoting of the good of America is what this campaign needs to do. Not in some old America love or leave it way but in the way Sarah Palin says we're not perfect but the good far out weighs the bad.

Our number one issue is not the economy or the war. Those are both just symptoms of the underlying issue of our eroded leadership role in the world. To regain the trust and the genuine love of the world we need to sell what is good about our society, what is great about the American people.

Let Barack Obama be negative all he wants. That is all he's ever been. Let him go negative on your plans, Ignore him. Let him speak about restoring America's greatness which is another negative statement.

Ignore him completely, ignore his policies, ignore his mistakes and start speaking in ads and speeches about the great future we have. Speak about America as you would sell her to an immigrant from eastern Europe.

Make Sarah's Optimism and Enthusiasm so viral that we all catch it. I want to see her and John always smiling always happy and never attacking the one who can do no wrong.

And readers. What Optimism would it take to sell your mother?
