One year ago, John McCain was seen by the public to be a “dead” candidate. Many viewed this conservative war-hawk to be a lost cause without a hope of continuing the race. He had previously gained media attention after his time as a POW and attempt as Republican Primary presidential candidate in 2000. Some feared that McCain would just continue where President Bush leaves off.
One year ago, Barack Obama was virtually unknown. This young Illinois senator surprised the nation with his determination and great articulation. Because of his youthfulness and inexperience, individuals may not have viewed him as credible as his opponents. Although many did not believe he could go far, his ethnicity and charm made him the face of change. Some viewed this change to be very negative, maybe pushing the limits too far; others welcomed the idea of a fresh start.
