Agreed. For a while there, McCain’s campaign was just brilliant. They were hitting Obama in the gut every day. Now, they’ve backed off.
They also need to keep in mind that interesting result that Rasumussen found; that more people are worried about the government overreacting than underreacting.
Perhaps the campaign is making sure they attack back the most effective way. I’d rather they wait a few days to act with a devastating ad against Obama, than throw a crappy one out right away.
Hey, people have been trying to tell these RINOs that the American people want conservatism. The excitement over Palin isn’t because she’s a woman. It’s because she is a genuine conservative who can articulate conservatism. She not only lives her values, but can clearly explain them without hesitation.
People are sick of the wishy-washy crap. They don’t like liberalism, but often don’t find any other alternative. And when the only thing that sort of suffices as an alternative becomes corrupt and even dumber than usual, they tune out.
McCain has to stop the wishy-washy crap, stop being afraid of the press, stop being cowed by Dems accusing Republicans of being ‘racist’. Control the argument, control the news cycle by coming out swinging.
Start with the following:
From now on, EVERY ad with a claim about our opponent will be given it’s own web page, where every claim will be FULLY documented. Go on, media and Dems. Call it ‘lies’. We’ve got the documentation and all you have is obfuscation and distortion.
He should come out with an internet ad saying the above and then hit Obama with Fanny Mae ties, treason, born alive, anti-gun, everything under the kitchen sink within 24 hours of that add, providing full documentation for all claims made.
Trust me, they are not prepared for this and will NOT know what to do about it.
