This is a Strategy? (Lieberman tells Fox that McCain won't target Obama/Wright Ties)

Good grief.

Lieberman: McCain draws the line at using Rev. Wright.

"Wallace asked Lieberman if McCain would bring up Rev. Jeremiah Wright after condemning state Republican parties for running ads criticizing Obama for his relationship with the controversial figure."

"Lieberman responded: “He [McCain] didn’t like that approach. Senator McCain feels that same way about bringing up Reverend Wright through his campaign. And that’s the kind of line drawing that I think John McCain is all about.”

"Later on Fox News Sunday, Brit Hume said the McCain camp would be “out of their mind” to not bring up Obama’s relationship with Rev. Wright."

“What on earth are Joe Lieberman and John McCain talking about when they say that the long association with the Reverend Jeremiah Wright is off the table?” Hume said. “Why is that off the table? It’s an important part of Obama’s background and record. It’s one of the reasons people wonder about who he really is.”

I'm still voting for McCain, but he sure doesn't make things easy. I mean, really, what kind of a fool is he?

Unbelievable. Dump McCain from the ticket.

The rats go thru Alaskan Garbage cans, but McCain is bi-partisan.

I am pissed people.

Palin already has. That’s what leaders do, lead. McCain can follow along with Lieberman if he likes.

Don’t worry folks. Lieberman doesn’t speak for McCain.

I don't see where he says anything about Ayers.

I begin to think that the next four years will be so rough, that John McCain has decided that maybe a Democrat ought to have the pleasure.

Where O where are the mavericks?

The real thing. Actions ...not simply the words we are getting.
Generalities that mean next to nothing.

SARAH EXCLUDED. She is indeed a light in the dark.

John ... Speak UP if you are here.

This is not the McCain I saw in the highlight videos of his life. Time to update the milk cartons at the local grocery stores ...

McJuan reminds conservatives of the one main reason they weren't planning to vote for him in the first place, his inexplicable penchant for prostrating himself before our domestic enemies.

One can only pray there will be enough left of our free election process to give Sarah Palin a chance in '12.

Holy Crap, how dumb can we be, let McCain attack Wright/Obama, only don’t announce to the world that he is going to do so.

I really don’t care what they say, I care what they do.

Prepare to be underwhelmed by McCain’s performance at the Tuesday night debate.

Maybe the key word is “target”....I have no doubt, no doubt, McCain will go after Obama/Wright....maybe he just wants to do a sneak attack on that one. Catch them off guard. He wants to win and he knows, he knows Wright is a fair judgement of character of association. It will happen...

He MUST mention Wright. WHY? Because it ties into Ayers and a radical political belief system. One, if they wanted, could easily dismiss Ayers as a casual associate or whatever, but add Wright into the mix and it's not a coincidence..it's obvious that Obama has a radical leftest political ideology that's being hidden from people.

If elected, Obama will spend the first 2 years blaming Bush for everything. Then the next 2 years will be spent campaigning for reelection on the platform of needing another term to do what he REALLY intended to do during his first term. In the meantime, all of his special interst groups and questionable associates will be running the country.

You’ve been told more than once McCain is taking yesterday and today to practice for the debate.

There's only three possible explanations.

1. Lieberman is entirely incorrect.

2. Lieberman is partially incorrect. McCain won't directly attack the Obama/Wright links; a 525 will.

3. Lieberman is correct. McCain is so emotionally invested in being the consummate bipartisan maverick that he'd rather lose the election HIS way than win using partisan tactics.

At this point, I'd believe any of the above.
