For months on end McCain has been hammering Obama on anything they could get their hands on.
Obama's celebrity status, gaffes, lipstick on a pig, etc.
And for months McCain gained and kept a good leading edge in the polls.
Suddenly after the lipstick on a pig comment.. I see McCain's campaign going soft!
NO ads on Obama trying to negotiate for the US Government? They put out a statement.
And McCain has allowed Obama/Biden to take the economic issue. No ads on all of the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac advisors on Obama's staff?
We've let a several news cycles go by and McCain has MISSED several points he could have attacked on!!
Is it money? What's the deal? McCain stopped attacking and Obama started gaining ground. I see it in the latest Rasmussen poll.
People right now either know who they are going to vote for or they are flakes. And flakes vote on their opinions they formed thirty seconds ago. If those people make up the 10% of the vote that keep shifting around in the polls then McCain doesn't need to reach out at them now he needs them in late October after the debates. McCain is wise to save his money for those folks.
BTW our local WPHT morning “conservative” Michael Smerconich is one of them. Douche Bag! Did I say the Phillies win the World Series?
I was listening to Laura Ingraham’s evening radio show around 11PM last night and I think she said McCain came out and tied Obama to Fannie Mae and so on, but I haven’t seen any video of it.
He just now directly connected The Zero with Fannie & Freddie.
Currently expounding upon the connection, ad librium.
I agree. Let the MSM howl with outrage that McCain dares to talk bad about the Messiah. Get the truth out, John, and let them howl!
You can talk about reform all you want, but too many people only respond to simple sound bites. Reform is an abstract concept. So are hope and change, as a matter of fact. You have to get down in the trenches and tell it like it is!
Oh yeah! McCain is talking about Obama taking money from Fannie Mae now! Go John!
Here he goes after Obama/Fannie Mae NOW. in Cedar Radids live.
Right now Obama and his liberal pals are running wild, lashing out hoping to damage McCain and Palin with anything and everything they can think of. Its called desperation.
McC just tied Zero’s neck to Fannie/Freddie meltdown with a good strong rope.
Cause Lehman, Bear Stears, Morgan Stanley and others leveraged themselves to such an insane degree that if the economy stumbled their companies would teeter and create a potential domino effect that effects everyone. Their greed is a piece of the puzzle, so is the Congress’ negligence at doing its job. In order for any attack to work, McCain has to go Maverick and attack both parties as being complicit as well as Wall Street.
This thread should be emailed to the McCain campaign.
I think it’s part of the strategy. Let Obama do himself in. Let him spend his money in states he didn’t think he’d have to. Let Obama go on the attack while McCain rises above it and looks more Presidential. As Palin said in her interview last night: the American people are not stupid - they know what’s going on. If you noticed in the last round of ads from McCain, the media played it up as “back and forth” attacks and tried to deligitimze McCain’s ads. Let him save the money and go in for the kill later.
You may be right!
McCain is starting to kick ass, and is calling for the head of the SEC.
He’s triangulating, and is calling for a new RTC!
GOOD MOVE, JOHNNIE MAC! Call for a mortgage version of the RTC!!!
YES, YES, YES!!!!
NOW CHALLENGE BUSH TO KEEP CONGRESS IN SESSION LIKE TRUMAN IN ‘48!!!
Best,
Chris
ROFLOL!!......Yeah, that's it.
She was in Charlottesville yesterday.
ML/NJ
Explain to me then... why did we not see ANY ad on the Obama Iraq story?
Good! McCain coming up with some specific proposals.
And he’s telling truth about ‘Obama’s bosses’. He needs to name names. Pelosi and Reed are Obama’s bosses! Hang them around his neck, John!
Maybe McCain’s finally “all out of bubblegum”.....:)
...Roddy Piper reference?? :0)
He's pounding on them right now? Is he breathing fire? (I hope.)
I'm just now leaving the office. Hope to catch a replay once I get to my quarters in a few.
good speech from mccain. that bit about how he predicted the FM problems needs to be out a lot more.
