DOVER, N.H. — Senator Barack Obama intensified his assault against Senator John McCain here on Friday, drawing sharp connections between his Republican rival and President Bush through a coordinated, partywide message as he confronts an invigorated Republican ticket and increasing nervousness among Democrats.
“The good news is that in 53 days, the name George W. Bush won’t be on the ballot.,” Mr. Obama told supporters here at an afternoon campaign appearance. “But make no mistake, George W. Bush’s policies will be on the ballot.”
Mr. Obama amplified his criticism of Mr. McCain through new television advertisements that portrayed the 72-year-old Mr. McCain as an out-of-touch politician with a long career in Washington. The ads — among the most pointed attacks to be put out by Mr. Obama — depicted Mr. McCain as he looked when he was first elected to Congress in 1982, an attempt to undermine the new argument from Mr. McCain that he is the candidate of change.

I really do hope they continue to lash out and attack Americans. This way, it makes their November losses so much more justifiable.
Thats a riot!
“Herr Olby”
“We bleed cash”
It's only the third act and they're already heading for the exits. If this keeps up, it'll turn into a stampede and Obama will be performing in front of four moonbats and a stray dog.
Herr Olby! ;0)
Two days?
In New Hampshire?
Two days?
The internals must be devastating.
Decided many years ago when Reagan was running to look at where the candidates were and how much time they were there rather than looking at polling numbers.
There's only one group that believes or even cares to hear this tripe: the ardent Bush haters. By repeating this theme for 18 or 19 months now, Obama is telling the world that he hasn't secured his loony left base yet.
The other 50 were reporters!
Rest assured that there were no more than 325 people there and quite possible many less. Think about it. They have Obama (I can't even call him Osama any more) in New Hampshire, first of all, a state supposedly firmly in his column. Then they have him talking to a huge crowd of, maybe 325, less than half of those undecided. They put him up there for a handful of votes in a state where he is strong.
There is so much wrong with this picture. Why is he in New Hampshire? Virginia, Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Ohio is where the race will be won or lost. There are 4 EV's in New Hampshire and 20 in Ohio. Where would you be campaigning? Their internals must be tanking big time.
How many people do you think Sarah would draw in Dover, NH? She would close the place down in a minute.
Two days in New Hampshire? Sarah could spend two hours in New Hampshire and clean the floor with him.
. . whisper . . {president bush wasn’t so bad, barack) . . . shhh..hh..h . . he is rather admired for sticking to his guns . . and for KEEPING US SAFE SINCE 2001!! a MIRACLE! the islamic extremist terrorists would have hit us if they could . . everyone knows this . .
especially in NH where everyone wants to meet the next president.
Where’s all the Obama fans?
Is Obama getting uppity?
Yup!
McCain should counter with "the Democrats are living in the past and cannot get over it"
I will be unable to check on attendance at Obama rallies for the next couple of weeks due to a job that needs attention.
I hope others keep reporting on Obama’s miserly crowds at his rallies.
Talk is cheap. It is the number of people who come to listen to a candidate that matters.
He's probably in the woodshed with his -the boss was wrong for picking me instead of Hillary- comment.
Did he go to NH during the primaries? If so, how many people did he draw then? I’m just asking because NH has a small population. Maybe this is a good-sized crowd for them? /smirk
