I’ll believe it, when I see it.

Here’s to hoping.

Well it’s about time. 30 days to go, tear him down and take no prisoners.

Meh. A fierce strategy would have meant standing with the House GOP against this pile of dung, Sen. McCain.

McCain is a socialist at this point in time, plus he allowed himself to be played by Nancy Pelosi, of all people. The man has lost his fastball, that is if he ever had one.

Hopefully, this was the plan all along - let O think he’s pulling ahead, then UNLEASH THE FURY!

-bring back Jeremiah Wright
-bring back Ayers
-Link Obama to Fannie

Whatever......The guy running his campaign has some issues. It is about time that we start standing up for ourselves as Conservatives and Republicans, because for the last week, I have felt like John has been campaigning for the other side.

The trouble with waiting to attack until you are behind is the media will frame it as “desperation.”

McCain should be using Giuliani more - Rudy can attack with the best of them. McCain just doesn’t have his heart in it.

I would say 30 days is about right. I was expecting it to stay right around tied with McCain up a point, then McCain’s team launches a massive last 2 week offensive on Rev Wright/Ayers/Rezko/Socialism etc etc to get the “last impression”.

That of course was before the financial debacle happened. Assuming that will be the “ October surprise” and nothing else happens, ramping up 2 weeks earlier might help.

The problem? I think that needed to be the last impression, to create doubt.

Now it might be a case of allowing Obama too much time to recover that last few days. But it is dicey to game it too closely.

They have to just launch it now and hope for the best.
