A handful of people on a handful of blogs didn't make it a controversy for the Obama campaign. No need to draw attention to something that no one else to speak of knew anything about.

So wait until it becomes an issue in the main stream press. Huh? No need to end a controversy before it starts. That's Back@ss thinking. It's just toooooooo much extra work for an Obama lackey to fix a shoddy jpg image of Obama's COLB that could re-imaged in 15 minutes. So no pride in doing a good job - huh?

So wait until it becomes an issue in the main stream press.

Essentially, yes.

Huh? No need to end a controversy before it starts.

As Polarik's post here (and posts by others elsewhere) amply prove, down at the blog level, controversies never end. They just keep getting recycled.

That's Back@ss thinking.

I disagree.

As I said, at the blog level, controversies never end. And as long as they stay down at the blog level, no one else to speak of knows anything about them, so in the larger scheme of things, they're not a problem for the campaign.

However if the campaign did anything to address these blog level controversies, in doing so, they couldn't help but to draw wider attention to them. And why would they want to do that? That would indeed be some "back@ss" thinking.

So no, from a campaign standpoint, the prudent thing to do would be to ignore the blog level stuff, and only shoot at the odd one or two that might rise up from the underbrush, as happened with Corsi's claims on Fox News.
