October 26, 2008: Closing, tomorrow (Politico)

  • In his speech, Senator Obama will tell voters that after twenty-one months and three debates, Senator McCain still has not been able to tell the American people a single major thing he’d do differently from George Bush when it comes to the economy. Obama will ask Americans to help him change this country, and say that in just one week, they can choose an economy that rewards work and creates new jobs and fuels prosperity from the bottom-up, they can choose to invest in health care for our families and education for our kids and renewable energy for our future, and they can choose hope over fear, unity over division and the promise of change over the power of the status quo. After a summer of fairly direct partisanship, Obama's fall stump speech has edged back toward his 2004 convention speech, with a passage about how there's no red and blue America. It will be interesting to see how much of that there is in the final week.
