About Politics
By Micah Halpern

Sunday August 10, 2008

I've Been Thinking:

Politicians come in all shapes and characters - seldom are they perfect.
In this presidential election, more than others, we seem to be focusing more on the imperfections of the candidates than on their attributes.
Both candidates are providing the media and voters with a lot of material.

The NYTimes has a front page piece about McCain and his gold cell phone.
Apparently the McCain staff is attempting to keep their candidate and his phone far away from each other because of his penchant for turning his last conversation into his next talking points.

Is that an imperfection or an attribute?
On the on hand, staying on point is one of the most important skills a candidate can master and one McCain should learn fast.
On the other hand, it is actually charming that McCain is not a micromanager and can distance himself from the minutia of the election.
