What bothers me about the McCain salvoes against the bad ship ObaHamas is McCain handlers’ errors of omission in the critique against the marxist messiah.

Today in Virginia Beach (my hometown), McCain had a great chance to hit the ball out of the park. Instead, he settled for a single, if that.

Now, your in Virginia Beach, home to the Oceana Naval Air Station, Damn Neck, and Little Creek Amphibious Base, and you don’t mention a word that ObaHamas has called for tens of billions of dollars in defense cuts? Why? I listened to the whole speech and it touched on some hotbutton conservative issues. But how do you fail to mention an item(military spending) that is a bedrock issue on which the whole Tidewater community is dependent? Not to mention the fact that ObaHamas running mate voted against the Reagan defense buildup, strategic defense initiative, and all of the weapons programs that has helped to make the US military the dominant force that it is.

I can see where you might ignore plugs biden, but to ignore the 800 pound gorilla in the room (ie defense spending) while in an area with an inordinate amount of retired and active duty military personnel is a gross dereliction of duty of the McCain strategic thinkers.

I am not a political tactician or a thematic strategic thinker, but I can see the McCain campaign deficiencies, and if I can see them, they (the grand poohbahs of the McCain campaign) should be able to see them and take corrective measures.
