It´s the campaign Obama wanted from the start. The economy as the most important issue. Now he can blame Bush and connect Mc Cain to Bush. If you look at the early Obama speeches at youtube you can see that they try to label Mc Cain as out of touch with the average people and the economy in general from the start.
The financial crises and the Mc Cain comment of the “strong economy” was more than gold for Obama.
Mc cain planed a completely different campaign and now he is not able to counter the issue for weeks. he has to connect his leadership campaign and maverick campaign to the economy and not that strange talk about earmarks.
This issue will not go away until election day. Mc Cain and his team needs to find a way to win this issue or all these polls become reality
not that strange talk about earmarks
I pray to God he does not say a peep about earmarks tomorrow night. If he does, he will be a laughingstock after voting for that bailout and all those earmarks. Please Senator McCain talk about how you will improve the economy not wasteful spending...
Yeah. The Obama/Ayers/Wright stuff should have been pushed months ago, not in the last month of the campaign. I like hearing Palin go after him on it, but I don’t know if that is something that is going to resonate in the midst of an economic crisis. The Ayers/Wright stuff should have been used to define Obama as a radical early on. What I believe McCain/Palin should be doing is educating Americans exactly where Obama and a Democratic congress will take this country - Eurosocialism, unionism, socialized healthcare, etc.
