Obaba slipped up only once---and it was a whopper---telling Joe the Plumber he wanted to redistribute the wealth. Stupid McCain never bothered to explain what that meant for our once-powerful economic engine.
==============================================
Let's take a stroll down memory lane and review the typical Axelrod/Obama campaign strategy. Obama became a U.S. senator only by virtue of henchman David ("I'm Harmless") Axelrod's former employer, the Chicago Tribune, ripping open the sealed divorce records of Obama's two principal opponents.
One month before the 2004 Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate, Obama was down in the polls, about to lose to Blair Hull, a multimillionaire securities trader. But then the Chicago Tribune leaked the claim that Hull's second ex-wife, Brenda Sexton, had sought an order of protection against him during their 1998 divorce proceedings.
Those records were under seal, but as The New York Times noted: "The Tribune reporter who wrote the original piece later acknowledged in print that the Obama camp had 'worked aggressively behind the scenes' to push the story." Many people said Axelrod had "an even more significant role -- that he leaked the initial story."
Both Hull and his ex-wife opposed releasing their sealed divorce records, but they finally relented in response to the media's hysteria -- 18 days before the primary. Hull was forced to spend four minutes of a debate detailing the abuse allegation in his divorce papers, explaining that his ex-wife "kicked me in the leg and I hit her shin to try to get her to not continue to kick me."
After having held a substantial lead just a month before the primary, Hull's campaign collapsed with the chatter about his divorce. Obama sailed to the front of the pack and won the primary. Hull finished third with 10 percent of the vote.
Remember back to Jan 08 when Hillary was on her way to being crowned Queen of America?
Then this unknown guy from Kenya by way of Chicago snuck in and stole the kishka....
