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.

Okay what thread on PA? I really need to see this data.
Okay, I gotta admit, that goes straight to one of my fantasies. LOL
And Jack Murtha just came out an hour ago and called western Pennsylvanians "racists." :-) There are some very, very nervous Dems about Obama's chances in the Keystone State.
Bloody awesome! He just put at least another +3% in the turnout!
Will the media report this or ignore it like that Mahoney guy?
You are dead on target. There’s fear in the water in PA. Yeah baby!!
As a child, when there were only three network news shows, I used to amuse myself by switching between the three and seeing they were always talking about the exact same story from the exact same perspective,
Ask and ye shall receive. And I'm almost certain this won't be her last visit either.

Road to Victory Rally: Saturday October 18th in Lancaster, PA
Please join Governor Sarah Palin for a Road to Victory Rally in Lancaster, PA on Saturday October 18th.
Great to see you back!
Well duh. All the media has been using those talking points for months.
Same old same old bulldroppings from the America hating media hacks.
that was the plan....unfortunately it went global and all the King's men and all the King's horses won't be able to put this Humpty Dumpty back together again....Now if we could 'toss the Rats out' in both the House AND the Senate we might have a chance.
This man is clearly clueless about finance and economics. Taking the cap off SS income tax will kill jobs in this country.. people forget employers pay 1/2 of their SS tax to the Feds and the worker pays the other half.. unless a person is self employed or a 1099 employee... that segment having no cap on their SS income will be devestating as well...
I’ve been following the Obama birth certificate issue for readers of my blog, could you tell me where you saw this “Senator Obamas entry submission to Harvard states that he was born in Kenya.” I need to post this information and the “source” to my blog if you can let me know where you read it. Thanks.
And i thought i was the only one thinking that.
“If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.”
Thomas Jefferson, 1816.
Agreed, i have never seen a political figure advertised by the media etc. more in my entire 43 years on this earth although it seems the Clinton’s were promoted pretty heavy also, you would not believe the number of so called gun owners also jumping on the train, the TV here in Missconsin is continously running those tax break ads & they are sucking the sheeple in faster than they can count & still very few if any McPain ads, we have a long uphill battle.

It says somewhere in the bible that Israel will stand alone as the world attacks it.
I don’t know where in the bible but biblical people often talk about it.
Jesse Jackson is not a friend of nObama’s, he hates him, i think Rush or Savage mentioned it today or yesterday.
Thaaaaat's right! He'll make more "rich" people middle class!
That's only because Bert Jones got his career ended by a hit from the Detroit Lions in a preseason game...IIRC that was during Marchibroda's time.
Cheers!
people in the j-schools in universities are trained to follow their leader.
