All I can think of is, by announcing it in advance, it creates anticipation and curiosity about how it will be played, and thus more publicity. Free publicity.
I do find it puzzling that the McCain campaign told everyone what they were going to do.
Of course they have been anything but smart during recent weeks.
What I KNOW, is that you don't announce your plans to the enemy to avoid being preempted. McPain needs to GET REAL, REAL FAST.
I asked this myself. McCain could be trying to get under Obama’s skin right before the next debate.
Simple: to lose. He'll still have his Senate seat, his retirment in a few years, his dachas in AZ, and a permanent invitation to Meet the Press.
Added bonus: Palin gets neutralized, thus keeping another conservative out of national politics.
McCain likes to promote himself up with others around him saying the hard and tough things...then when asked personally McCain responds, “Chris I really think there are more important issues to talk about than Senator Obama’s pastor. I take Senator Obama at his word and if he has condemned the words used then I think we can just move on and talk about what people really want to hear.”
Here’s a clue Johnny....When you come marching home it’s going to be in Arizona and not the White House. People want to see you tough against your political opponents and call a spade a spade...not this nicety crap...negative WORKS....get down and dirty and rip this guy a new one....
Sen. Claire McCaskill, who was “beating the snot out of McCain,” lists on her financial disclosure statement 270 -— THAT’S TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY -— limited partnerships dealing with “affordable housing”.
THAT’S SUB-PRIME LENDING, PEOPLE !!!!!!!!!!
I personally think it is to get Obama to react. Watch where they run to so that they might find more out. Also since the media has worked so hard to cover this stuff up by annoucing it they have to cover it whether they want to or not.
When you come to thinking about how this race will end up don’t forget Dewey vs Truman and how that ended up
This is over and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise
Obama will lose
My guess, and I could be wrong, is that it is misdirection.
Maybe McCain was sticking a limp feeler out to see if the MSM will be nice and think it is okay to put up a fight against Barry.
Wah
I’m assuming that—at least on the Ayers thing—the strategy is to force this into the debate on Tuesday, that is, to force the moderator to ask Obama about it, so that Mccain can comment on Obama’s answer. This has the advantage of getting the issue out in front of however many million people watch the debate.
That’s my assumption. Given the un-deftness of their strategy so far, I could be—& probably am—wrong.
God only knows why they did it this way. Perhaps they knew they needed to take the gloves off, but weren’t ready for a couple days. Who knows....
A little misdirection. McCain needs to rip Obama for the Fannie-Freddie connection again and again in the debate. What would make sense is to do so and then launch a major ad run targeting Obama’s Fannie and Freddie connections starting on Tuesday night.
At Tuesday's debate, McCain should wave a copy of his birth certifice and challange Obama to another me too
.
As former military he has to have an understanding not to let the enemy know your planned actions. Maybe just disinformation. There is plenty else to hit the Socialists with from voter fraud in Ohio, ACORN, Democrats involvement with CRA, Fannie, Freddie, Obama youth movement, illegal campaign contributions.
After watching the youth squad in Kansas, the kids choir, and “Tomorrow belongs to me” videos this weekend; the next person I meet with a BO button or shirt I'll raise my right arm and hand and Heil Obama to them.
For what it’s worth...I think it was to get the Obama Campaign on recent record saying that he has no ties to Ayers again....lol. Just wait....it’s coming!
Obama and all of his little sycophants in the media are going to be proven to be liars!
Well I guess it's over then?
And why is Revrunt Wright “off the table” as a part of the campaign’s strategy?
