A modest proposal for Team McCain:
Drop the Palin bomb in at least three hyperblue states (NJ, NY and Mass) over a three-day period.
Recent polls show Obama's lead in several hyperblue states narrowing toward single-digits. Of course, team McCain-Palin has little chance of winning any of these states, but "Operation Dolittle" would help serve several tactical (campaigning) and strategic (governing) objectives:
--Shock Team Obama, putting on hyper-defensive.
--Confuse the Dems
--Anger the libs
--Destabilize the opposition.
--Upset the media
--Reninvigorate blue-state conservatives
--Entice blue-state independents
--Raise the odds of a bigger popular vote count
--Set the groundwork for an electoral landslide and an unassailable national mandate to reform
(Shocked, confused, angry, destablized libs make more costly mistakes)
IMPAL(in)E the opposition.
First stop: NYC.

Why take a three-point shot when Obama and his goons keep sending them to the free-throw line?
In short: shake up the system...again.
“Why take a three-point shot when Obama and his goons keep sending them to the free-throw line?”
Go for the gold and for a Reagan-sized mandate.
Love to see her in the People’s Republic of Mass.
Not so sure it’ll happen though
WOW! My heart skiped a beat at this phrase.
I'm all for putting some resources into a variety of states to benefit down-ticket candidates and conservative ballot initiatives, but all this talk about Reaganesque landslides and such... ugh... it's just WAY too early for such stuff.
Only campaign in NM, NH Penn Ohio Michighan Colorado Florida
Ditto... Hope McCain/Palin come to Massachusetts!!!
Does McCain have to be there?
not necessarily... :o)
Good idea. A Palin rally in Wochester, MA would draw a bunch of the conservatives in MA. I’m not being facetious. The areas north and west of Boston ARE conservative. It’s just that the Boston area has so many colleges with their liberals, they overwhelm the rest of the state.
Wochester is in central MA and since MA isn’t all that big, it would attract folks from all over, plus get some people from NH.
Also, to help congressional candidates in the few districts where we have a chance. Good idea.
I think 3 days is a little too much, but they should do a “drive-by” in one day stopping at New York and Boston airports. Media from NY will overlap into New Jersey. Obama/Biden won’t know what hit them.
If Palin were to visit Portland's waterfront park on a weekend before the weather turns bad, she would likely draw an enormous crowd and her visit would be remembered as an historic one.
No. Bad idea. There are less than 60 days to the election. She needs to spend her time exclusively in battleground states. Bush spent WAAAY to much time in CA in both elections. It is a distraction.
WOW! Someone on Palin’s team is a Freeper or a lurker. There was a thread on FR about young Republicans in blue state Chicago and Steve mentioned it was like Doolittle’s Raid. Taking it to the enemy is like going to the belly of the beast.
Congratulations, Steve.
Fact is, we people in Massachusetts are sick and tired of the Democrats and I think McCain/Palin has a real chance to turn Massachusetts red.
