If these are problems...

Odd report from the Associated Press on how McCain has spent this difficult week, what with Obama garnering all those great visuals. But go to the bottom of the report and see that the polls are tightening in McCain's favor. With problems like these let Obama have all the successes he wants.

The report excerpts from McCain's hard hitting attack on Obama. The speech offers a telling contrast between McCain and Obama. The thing about McCain's speech is its spare, hard-edged and unadorned nature. There is nothing in it that could be called artful and therein lies a sort of art. There are no empty rhetorical "This is the moment" pieces of fluff. Just one declaration after another. I'm right, he's wrong, this is why. Not a trace of fat or decoration.
