I read earlier that the McCain campaign was dropping the ‘experience’ tactic. (Even though she has much more PROVABLE experience than Joebama). Now he seems to be picking up the ‘change’ tactic - with probable change being/having been shown. He has mentioned ‘change’ several times in his interview on FNS.

Sounds like a good strategy but the experience issue needs to be back in the forefront maybe 2 weeks prior to the election.

Meanwhile Kelly O’Donnel who is covering the McCain campaign was asked by Brokaw about McCain traveling to the Gulf states and Kelly replied nodding her head with a “no” and saying “yes Tom”....

Reform and integrity are a much more potent tactic this year. There are many foreign policy experts out there to help advise - a President simply cannot know everyting, let alone sort it out. The critical aspect of a decision-maker is judgement and integrity. McCain has already hammered Obama about the lack of the former. Now we will see Obama’s integrity ripped to shreds.

Since the primaries ended, I honestly can’t think of one event or issue wherein the McCain campaign hasn’t out-flanked Obama.

I believe you're right on the switch to the "change" theme which I don't mind because it's being made clear what the change is: moving away from corrupt business as usual and fighting corruption wherever it turns up.

Interestingly this plays right into Palin's EXPERIENCE and gets back on that track as well.
