To yourself and the other poster upthread who asserted possible problems with the internal polls....may I join your group?

Every oncit in a while there is some action or thing that sinks a candidacy. One of the more famous is the Dukasis and the tank ad. With Howard Dean it was the famous scream. Then there’s the infamous MACACA comment.

All of these contender-ending gaffes have one thing in common...the very public gaffe plays directly into the one weakness that lurks in the background of the candidate.

Dukasis, for example, was suspected of possibly being easy on our enemies, perhaps hesitant to send in the military required. When he put on those silly goggles and had a photo with him wearing a stupid grin as his head protruded, awkwardly, from the tank’s turret, it was the very picture of the public’s concern about Dukasis.

Same with the Dean scream. The public suspected Dean was a bit off-kilter but that scream, that yodel to the gods of dementia, rang that sour note that so had the public worried about Dean. As for MACACA...yes the press made a big noise about such a few sylables but let’s face it, it was a very nonsensical word and the public already was suspicious that George Allen was a bit on the dim bulb side.

The press has a lot of power, no doubt, but the press will play up anything. What makes it stick is how perfectly the candidate matches what’s got the public concerned about them, as well as the timing.

And so it is with Obama, Joe the plumber, and the three words that I think will bring down his candidacy. For Obama too made a gaffe that so perfectly fit the allegedly uncommitted public’s perception of him, that he is of a socialistic, possibly communistic bent.

And so the three words....SPREAD THE WEALTH....are going to be the undoing of Obama.

The pubbies, as John McCain did during the third debate, need to repeat these three words over and over and over and over again.

The pubs....damn they hate to get out of the tanning booth and heaven forbid that a hair on their head should move from its appointed place. But if they want to win they gotta play like the Dems.

Learn to love sound bytes and repeat them over and over like the Dems do so well.

SPREAD THE WEALTH....Obama’s MACACA.

It’s my story and I’m sticking to it. I think Obama’s campaign is worried, as well they should be.

Bear in mind I am right as often as Dick Morris and that even a stopped clock is on the mark twice a day.
