Their perception- If they have to run against McCain they lose, against Bush they win
I'm already sick of hearing about Bush's 3rd term. Anyone else? With the dedication of the Carville-Begala 'it's the economy, stupid' the democratic machine which Clinton spawned, and Rahm Emanuel smartly continued, they select a main theme and stick to that no matter what, and they have centered the Bush Derangement Syndrome in the mistaken belief that the polls about Bush now mean a third Bush term as a campaign goal is their theme. We see it emerging with every spokesman from Pelosi, to Reid, to Obama, to Dean, to minor functionaries' cynical TV smiles indicating how little they really believe it, while having faith in it's effectiveness.
McCain, on the other hand should counter that Mr. Obama is without judgment OR experience, thus:
All of these people are his friends or advisers, or mentors, or all of the preceding. He has extolled their value to him in writing, on TV, and publicly for the record.
Townhall meetings should feature McCain going after Obama laser like on this. Commercials should be POUNDING that home.
Ignore the stupid 'muslim' slanders Ignore the Rezko, 'Obama's a criminal' temptation Ignore the anti american angle Ignore the rumors, slanders, and hysterical finger pointing. Ignore every single temptation which leads directly to Obama Derangement Hysteria
Mr. Obama can change NOTHING without judgment. His history indicates without doubt, that when it comes to the most important function of the president...deciding WHO gets executive decision making powers, and WHO advises him, he has NONE. That is the verdict of his own choices.
The single counter argument, that Iraq shows his GOOD judgment and McCain's poor judgment, fails both because McCain, like the early dismissed Chariman of the Joint Chiefs urged much higher troop levels, and because we certainly ARE WINNING, at implanting SOME KIND of democracy in the dead center of the middle east, CHANGING MIDDLE EAST HISTORY since the Greeks at Marathon. And Obama opposes that.
It's about judgment stupid It's about judgment stupid It's about judgment stupid
