“The die hard leftists would support Obama if he had thawed Lenin out and he was living in his home, with Hitler, Mao, and Pol Pot.”
You honestly don’t think something like this might be worth at least a percentage point or two in some of the battleground states? Pa., Oh, Fl, Co, etc.? In some states a one or two point swing will make all the difference. This isn’t about convincing the die hard leftists. It’s about flipping a number of tentative Obama supporters over to McCain. It’s about putting and keeping Obama on the defensive over the final month.
