Reinvigorating the Obama Campaign

The ace in the Biden hole is family policy.

Sarah Palin put the Obama campaign on the rocks. If anything, vigorous personal attacks against the vice presidential nominee and her family have served to cement attitudes against the attackers. Obama's ads have gone from inspired early in the primary (like this 1984 ad) to cheesy. The Obamassiah has become just a young guy with tired old ideas, less experience, and a whole lot of desire to put even more big government even farther up in everybody's faces. The right has become invigorated, the left stagnant and disillusioned.

The Obama campaign needs a game-changer. At least they need to acknowledge the one they already chose and to quit being so wimpy about it. ... cont.

Unless the Hollywood Left is willing to part ways with a couple of hundred million dollars (good luck with that!), Senator Obama will soon be running low on cash because he has to spend far more than anticipated.

To reinvigorate the Democratic base, he needs to be promoted from his current role as comical side-kick, rising to the occasion to become the standard bearer of the party’s values.

good luck with that....was that supposed to be a plan? or is this a subtle satire piece? LOL

OH ah ... did you read the whole article?

I did now

The idea won't work. It's far too little, far too late, and far too little voodoo mojo to give this flatlined campaign a renewed heatbeat.

It’s still a close race with weeks to go.

Well good. That was appropriate then. Glad you got the coverage of the focus issue thing. That’s important.

If I got it, maybe other readers will, too.

Biden got 3% of the vote in Delaware. Putting Biden front-and-center is electoral poison, and always has been.

Promoting Biden’s experience will only make Obama look like more of a lightweight. Given that, one wonders why Obama has Biden on the ticket at all. Somebody did not think this all the way through...

It only LOOKS close on the surface just now, but it’s not.

This will be a 40 plus State blowout for McCain/Palin.

Formerly safe Obama States like New York and New Jersey are moving to “in play”, to say nothing of Michigan, Pennslvania, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Washington which went competitive last week. EVERY state that has moved from “toss-up” to “leaning” or from “leaning” to “solid” has moved to McCain, and none toward Obama, and the trend is NOT spent.
There is no strategy that wins this for Obama. From now on its all about face-saving and trying to protect Democrat seats in Congress.

That’s my guess. I try to be easily read.

I’m easily confused by subtlety, but I wasn’t ever going to vote for the Democrats, anyway.

I didn’t think I’d live long enough to see New York vote Republican. Do you mean it?

I think you got it just right - just as intended. I have noted no confusion on your part.

All I want to know now is how to get it posted to popular left-wing websites. Let’s see how they do with it.

I must be sharper than usual this morning. Maybe it’s because I had two cups of coffee in my extra-large John McCain coffee mug :-).

You know, it is getting harder and harder to distinguish Democrat talking points from parody. I will admit that I read all the way through this thing without picking up an the fact that it was satire.

Perfect combination - a guy with lots of experience, who represents his party extremely well, but would have a very hard time outshining the presidential candidate. So the Obama campaign can put him front and center to do his thing, playing the experience card, representing his values - without fear of making Obama seem his lesser.
