The Obama campaign defeated the inevitable Hillary. It should be no surprise that they are finding ways to fight. They aren’t going to surrender.
They are migrating their message from McCain/Bush to “it’s the economy, stupid.” McCain’s team needs to respond vigorously to defend the lead. Wall Street events are going to be part of this. A very effective attack on this front is the news from yesterday that Obama was the 2nd largest recipient of Fannie and Freddie donations.
Debates have essentially never been proven to move polls so don’t be looking for them to save the day. To get a lead and win in November will require some moderating in Wall Street events, strong campaigning and in the end, perhaps money exhaustion in the Obama campaign.
Just have to grind it out.
The Sex Ed. ad was lame, even if true. McCain's defense today of the ad on PMSNBC was to “read the bill on my web site”. He and his staff should be ready with specifics.
Time to stop responding and go on attack. Go after Obambi/Biden’s contribution links to Freddie/Fannie. Go after their votes on earmarks, their $28,000/plate rich elite fundraiser in the midst of a financial crisis. Go after Rangel’s tax evasion and the party of corruption. Go after Obambi’s lame email ad and his attempt to halt Iraqi/US troop reduction negotiations.
Bottom line, never play defense. Always attack. If you need to defend, defend with an attack.
