A combative Barack Obama said Tuesday that Republican John McCain "doesn't know what he's up against" in this election and challenged his rival to stop questioning his character and patriotism.
Obama, campaigning in a state where he hopes to become the first Democratic presidential candidate to win in more than three decades, implored his supporters to fight for the presidency.
"Our job in this election is not just 'win,' although I'm a big believer in winning," Obama said during the rally. "I don't intend to lose this election. John McCain doesn't know what he's up against."
"He can talk all he wants about Britney (Spears) and Paris (Hilton), but I don't have time for that mess," Obama said.
His remarks carried forward a theme of feisty campaigning he debuted earlier in the day.
Addressing the Veterans of Foreign Wars convention in Orlando, Fla., Obama reaffirmed his early opposition to the U.S. invasion of Iraq and said the strategy of sending in 30,000 additional troops last year had not produced the political reconciliation necessary to achieve lasting peace in the country.
McCain supported the Iraq invasion and was an early champion of the surge.

McCain ‘doesn’t know what he’s up against’
Yes he does! He is up against a lightweight dimwit well funded by George Soros.

McCain knows exactly who he’s up against - an empty suit with two left pant legs.

John McCain doesn't know what he's up against." Sure he does. He knows a sniveling twit when he sees one and you're it Hussein.

Thanks to George Soros and others, Obama will have upwards of half a billion dollars to spend on attack ads. He outspent Hillary but still lost most of the late primaries, but he’ll have an even larger advantage facing McCain...plus the media will be entirely on his side, whereas it was divided when the race was between Obama and Hillary.
