BAMA CAMPAIGN ISSUES TALKING POINTS TO MEDIA AHEAD OF DEBATE Wed Oct 15 2008 11:15:03 ET
The Obama campaign issued a set of debate 'talking points' to media on Wednesday morning, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal.
Press Secretary Sean Smith issued the directive in an email from Pennsylvania, 12 hours before the debate.
The directive oddly mirrors much of the main press analysis and theme of the current campaign:
* This is John McCain's last chance to turn this race around and somehow convince the American people that his erratic response to this economic crisis doesn't disqualify him from being President.
* Just this weekend the weekend, John McCain vowed to "whip Obama's you-know-what" at the debate, and he's indicated that he'll be bringing up Bill Ayers to try to distract voters.
* So we know that Senator McCain will come ready to attack Barack Obama and bring his dishonorable campaign tactics to the debate stage.
Obama continues to lead on the economic crisis with a rescue plan for Main Street.
* Over the course of the campaign, Barack Obama has laid out a set of policies that will grow our middle class and strengthen our economy.
* But he knows we face an immediate economic emergency that requires urgent action - on top of the plans he's already laid out - to help workers and families and communities struggling right now.
* That's why Barack Obama is introducing a comprehensive four-part Rescue Plan for the Middle Class - to immediately to stabilize our financial system, provide relief to families and communities, and help struggling homeowners.
* This is a plan that can and should be implemented immediately.
* Obama has shown steady leadership during this crisis and offered concrete solutions to move the country forward - and his Rescue Plan for the Middle Class builds on the plans to strengthen the economy and rebuild the middle class that he's laid out over the course of this campaign.
* Already in this campaign, he's unveiled plans to give 95 percent of workers and their families a tax cut, eliminate income taxes for seniors making under $50,000, bring down the cost of health care for families and businesses; and create millions of new jobs by investing in the renewable energy sources.
* John McCain has been erratic and unsteady since this crisis began - staggering from position to position and trying to change the subject away from the economy by launching false character attacks.
Developing...
Oh,yeah,nothing biased about the debates at all. Why the republicans continue to let the left define the rules for the debates and pick the moderators is beyond me. The stupid party fits perfectly doesn’t it?
Probably a rope a dope, which McCain’s campign will probably take hook line and sinker.
Yep...we’ll agree to disagree.
Obama is going to give us all thousands of dollars why not vote for the guy? Unless of course Pride in being American is part of your reason to belive in this country. You cannot be a proud American and expect people to pay your way through life... at least thats the lesson I teach my kids... wonder what lesson the liberals teach theirs?
Which will be a bigger ratings boost to Fox for the next 4yrs, Mcain as POTUS or Barry?
Don’t think that would work with me. When I voted in the Presidential Primary, I had to ask for a Democratic ballot three times because by looking at me the pollworker couldn’t believe a middle-aged guy in a suit with a flag in his lapel wanted to vote Democrat.
I just did it to vote against Hillary.
Attempt to ruin any “suspense.”
Trying to run out the clock...
If you can run 100 yards while dodging his my best hunters javalins and get past his mace dragging henchman on the other side, freedom is yours. Good luck.
J. C. Watts, former rep from Oklahoma, is starting a TV news channel. Hopefully his station will fill the void of conservative news on a national level.
No brainer. The press would cheer a civil war if it meant ratings.
Great job, mcshot. Also, let's participate in this thread.
Here’s my prayer:
Please God....
please don’t let Obama, with his radical Muslim friends and backers, take over America.
America is the only friend and ally that Israel has in the world today. If Obama wins the Presidency, Israel truly will have the entire world against her.
Amen
“So the key word to listen for tonight from the Drive Bys is “erratic.””
That appears to be the “drink” word for tonight’s game.
If McCain did that the media would report it like a scandal. I can just hear some chick with her fake deep voice saying, “And tonight...flashy graphics...What was John McCain thinking?...McCain making a stupid face....journalist receive talking points....visual of the talking points, zooming and rotating.......Is John McCain trying to manipulate the media?”
Like ABC's Ann Compton - a fake breathless deep voice that drives me to turn the radio channel.
Again, you gotta understand how the MSM plays the game. The clip will be replayed ad nauseam, but McCain's words will be replaced with the anchor(ette)'s voiceover describing McCain's deteriorating mental condition.
I would watch JC Watts TV.
I believe they are called “targeted tax cuts”....an all-time favorite of socialist Democrats. And of course, there’s the EIC....which gives tax credits to people that don’t PAY taxes. And of course, we middle classers are footing the bill for it all....AS USUAL.
I’ve had it with these commies. I rent cause I can’t afford to buy. I drive a 23-yr old truck cause I can’t afford car payments unless I am permanently employed vs. contract. I’m sick and tired of paying for everyone ELSE’s “”good life””.
I’m expecting the next civil war any year now. That’s the ‘only’ way we can clean house, once and for all, of these leftist morons. Only thing is, it better happen soon, and while we’ve still got most of the military on our side.
By having a Liberal taxation President with radical friends like Jeremiah Wright and Jesse Jackson walking through our White House should frighten everyone. Just making the voters vision that....and then end with the fact that we would be on a downward spiral to collapse that America has ever scene. MAKE voters visualize what it is like to get WORSE instead of improve........PLEASE McCain....hit him....and knock him out. BRING up Wright and what he said about G.D America....bring up Odinga, ObaMA GIVING HIM 1MIL AND how Odinga promoted genocide after losing... and give his JohnMcCain.com web address to remind voters to go to see teh youtube.com video of Odinga and Obama....
Remind voters of Jesse Jacksons comments yesterday and what would happen to Israel.....Rezko connection and corrupt Chicago politician with corrupt, radical friends. From there bring UP ACORN and Obamas influence relationship and HOW “THEY” are attempting to steal this election. GET it out there!!! Fight, fight, fight
“Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall!” Proverbs 16:18
Go ahead, O-boy, just when you think you’ve got everything under control....!
