Change you can trust, a slogan that could turn around McCain’s campaign?

Change you can trust contrasts beautifully with change you can believe in.

Everyone wants change, only with a team that we can trust to implement it.
If you’re in a tough spot, you want someone to come to help you that you can trust, not someone you believe may want to help you.

John McCain, polls show, is rated as highly qualified and highly trusted. This slogan, change you can trust, reinforces this message.

It can even be added on to John McCain’s current slogan. Country first, change you can trust. Or perhaps Change you can trust that puts Country first. Or how about Change you can trust that puts America first

It implies without directly saying it that the other side is perhaps a little less trustworthy.

It also reinforces the message that in a time we were facing battle with Al Qaeda worldwide and two conventional wars, John McCain is a commander in chief you can trust to lead us to victory.

There are 30 days left before Election Day. Sarah Palin’s debate performance was good, but it’s really up to John McCain to win.

CHANGE You Can TRUST

CHANGE You Can TRUST to put COUNTRY FIRST

CHANGE You Can TRUST to put AMERICA FIRST

CHANGE – TRUST
COUNTRY FIRST

John, are you listening???

Deb,

The financial crisis didn’t come to a head until two weeks ago. We are in a financial crisis.
McCain needs to be there for several reasons. One, back in 2005 he had studied the mortgage subprime situation, especially with regards to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. He tried to get legislation passed to confront the problems that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and other similar subprime lenders posed. Unfortunately he was not successful. However, I believe that he is especially needed at this juncture because he has familiarity with the issue. He has researched it and studied it. He has the notes, he has the details, the facts and the figures. We may not have the time at this point to research the subject again and bring people up to speed.

The second reason we need him there is that he might be able to work with some of the Republicans who have real concerns about bailing out these companies again. History has shown that bailouts are only a temporary fix, but a temporary fix is what we need now until we can come up with a fair solution. Remember the Savings and Loans fiasco of the 80s. We don’t want to keep repeating the mistake.

Taking six months off to campaign for office is perfectly acceptable in normal times when things are going well. For critical legislation, he still has a job to do.

Anon… INRE your comment:

I was merely posting information I saw from people in Oxford. And for a town that size, 5 million is a serious deal: not something you can just blow off.

You can forget about the money loss to the town of Oxford. It is all donated private funds.

The university had estimated the cost of the presidential debate to be up to $5 million, all of which came from private donations. There were no announcements about when the debate would be held if it were to be postponed.

Most of the major televisions networks and many print journalists had already arrived in Oxford by the time the news broke Wednesday.

As you can see, the town is already enjoying an economic boost with the press moving in, supporting local businesses such as restaurants and hotels.

Ok, I stand corrected. It isn’t official McCain will be there, but it isn’t official he won’t be there either. At least that’s what I’m reading.

Deb,

Can you tell me which foreign policy issue was debated in the Senate in the last six months?

Here’s the problem McCain has:

He has been impulsive and reactive the last month. If I were looking for a leader, I want someone who knows when to react and when to consult with people who know more. McCain has admitted that Economics isn’t his strong point. Which is fine, I’d rather have someone around who knows the limits of their knowledge. Sorry, being decisive on things that you don’t have a good understanding of strikes me as playing with fire at best, and Russian Roulette with all chambers but one loaded at worst.

Pivoting from the Fundamentals of the Economy are sound to this being such a disaster that only his personal Intervention can solve the problem will ring hollow with a number of people.

Choosing to not appear on Letterman because you have to get back to DC, then appearing on a news show a few blocks away at the exact same time he was to be taping on Letterman. That’s a serious unforced error.

I could go on and on. but the issue with McCain isn’t the base. It’s with the Independents. And his actions this week have alienated a lot of the independent voter, who are absolutely vital for McCain.

That’s the problem with Gambits. Sometimes you get nothing for the pawn.
