Powell`s endorsement was succinct.

McCain offers the failures of the past, Obama addresses the future.

McCain`s organization of his campaign has been inept, and reflects badly upon his abilities as an executive.

Obama`s campaign has been well organized, executed and directed.

McCain has aligned himself with the failed policies of the most incompetent administration in US history.

Obama is not burdened with having to persist with failure.

Obama`s choice for VP was a competent member of the democrat middle.

McCain`s poorly vetted choice was an act of impulse, an attempt to appease the most extreme elements of the republican party and liberal`s who supported Hillary.

The response of the two men to the economic crisis were starkly different. McCain was erratic and inconsistent, Obama cool, collected and objective.

Each time McCain has acted in an impulsive and erratic way, his numbers have dropped.
