hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
man the media is is going into defcon 5 spin control....
Jonah taking the Drudge route hoping for an Obama win to help inflate his sagging career.
Did you actually read the article?
McCain needs to jump on the energy band wagon. He should appear in every oil state and demand more drilling = more jobs. He could do the same with nuclear power plants. We voters are being hit hard on energy right now. Expose the no drill dims, McCain!
9/11 is still fresh in the minds of voters and McCain holds a strong lead in who makes a better CIC. The WOT is still a hot war and is not a "cold war" and for Jonah to make a comparision between the two is disingenuous and smacks of despeartion and ill-equipped intellect.
I disagree with the article. The casualties and chaos in Iraq have been an overwhelming weight around the GOP’s neck for the last four years. It’s become common wisdom that Bush and the Republicans shamed and damaged the country by dragging us into an “unnecessary, unwinnable war”. McCain needs to change that narrative and has been very successful, especially in the past few days, of doing so. Already, it has become more accepted that the surge was a great success and that we are capable, if we haven’t already, of winning the war. McCain should keep reiterating how wrong Obama has been about Iraq and needs to make the country feel proud about our efforts there and help the people understand how crucial our victory is.
You’re right about the dumbed down masses.
Polls show most Americans believe the Republicans control congress. It’s going to be an uphill fight.
Agree with you 100%. Foreign policy is McCains strong suit and the WoT is one of the most pressing issues. It’s only reasonable he centres on it.
Actually Goldberg is right. Wake up McCain, start asking Barry what he will do after the troops leave on his watch. What will happen if there is a bloodbath, if Iran takes over. What will Barry do? Have tea and talk?
McCain always gets stuck trying to prove he WAS right, rather than pressing on.
McCain has. Have you seen this ad that is running in PA and OH.
I think Rush made a great point yesterday (maybe he wasn’t the first one to say it, but he’s the first I heard).
Obama’s over there feigning all kinds of concern for the Iraqi people - they need jobs, infrastructure, education, health care, etc. Yet Obama and Democrats did not care a whit about the Iraqi people before the invasion and if not for the invasion, Iraqis would still be living under a murderous dictatorship.
Rush asked, “Obamessiah, where was your concern for the Iraqi people prior to 2003?”
I remember the 'honorable' way the Huey's flew off the embassy roof with people desperately trying to get on.
There is truth to what he says because like Bush SR he is seen as a single issue candidate, although I did like his commercial blaming Obama for gas prices. bush SR lost because the public felt we were safe (which we werent) and wanted to move on to domestic spending and issues. Obama is like 1992 Clinton, and the media is doing the same.
As much as I dislike McCain, I like this weeks attacks on Obama. I really enjoyed them and was surprised.
maybe so, but Clinton only got 43% of the vote that year and Bob Barr or Ron Paul are not going to get 19% of the vote like Ross Perot did...
A platform that highlights our success in Iraq instead of addressing the above is doomed.
9/11 has been pushed to the back of the American consciousness, no more immediate than the battleship Maine.
Voters are anyone who will get on the bus for $20 and punch one hole.
That was the irony of Clinton attacking Obama, he was attacking him 1992 self .
I think the best thing would be if Obama wins by the slimmest amount possible, getting beat up badly in the process(as many people realize he is a disaster) , then tries to pass some huge sweeping liberal ideas. He already promised open homosexual behaviour in the military, all while making the female western press reporters in Jorden dress like Muslims to not offend.
You see the press built Clinton up 92, then tore him down. Now who walks on liberal water 2008 ???
Stinky pile of bovine poop!
