Strategists Hope Schmidt Puts McCain's Campaign on the Right Track

I was dissapointed with the Bush administration, but open to what the Republican party has to offer. Seeing McCain get closer and closer to all the people that played a role in the Bush administration, makes me less likely to vote for him.
I'm looking for someone with his own vision and ideas, I'm not convinced McCain has them.

Our potential leaders, presumptive leaders, have become puppets in a machine. I want to see whether these so-called leaders can lead, whether they can be of such material to actually lead a nation of people in every area, from planning campaign strategy & choreography, to knowing themselves what their message is and how to get it across, and how to put it into effect in the service of the people they would hope (but pretend) to lead.
But instead Mr McCain has people around him to tell him what to do. This isn't leadership, folks. Aids are one thing, but this goes beyond that. Mr. Obama seems to be in a similar situation, though I get the sense his is possibly more of a team with him as leader, at least to some degree more so than McCain.
Where are the real leaders? No one leads without good alliances and help, but this is something else. Mr McCain, and Mr. Obama, like most other Presidents of the United States (though maybe not all) are puppets of something greater... and I don't mean the people of this country... something else....
A healthy horse herd has better and surer leadership than this country does... than any human country presently does.

McCain should be praised for not being a Christian right lap dog. When will we take seriously the constitutional demand to keep the state separate from religion? We should make it unconstitutional for any member of an organized religion to hold public office. Of course hell will freeze over in America before that happens.
Neo-Atheists for McCain

I keep waiting to hear something encouraging, something exciting, but no.
I hear Obama everyday, everywhere, always people cheering optomistic whether true or not, he knows how to reach people. I do not trust Obama but I can see how people are drawn to him.
I think McCain is a good honest man, he needs a little help with charisma.
