This has to be the “unleashing”. We’re about 4 weeks out. Obama has peaked (I hope...pun intended).
With all apologies to Monty Python, three is not the magic number of the holy hand grenade of campaign weeks right now. Four is. Three weeks is too short a period of time....five weeks, especially with the financial mess dominating the headlines, was too many. Four weeks is the perfect amount of time to close this deal....especially after Palin’s performance in the debate. Two weeks is too few. Six was absolutely out of the question....four weeks :-)!
Let’s go Palin....uh, McCain/Palin :-)!!!!!
I’ve been waiting all summer for the month of October, believing that the Republican strategy was to bide their time, build slowly (the successful offloading of the DEMOCRAT driven financial scandal onto the always passive Republican party, was an unforseen but preventable setback), and then unload on the heavily flawed Obama in the final month. I like your 5 week/3 week analysis; it is spot on in my opinion.
John McCain needs to open up the shore batteries as well.
It is not a manly thing to let a woman do all the hard work, and John McCain if nothing else, is a very brave man.
Six was right out, indeed.
...then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.
