This is a mini-rant: To use a basketball analogy, watching the campaigns from where i sit in Switzerland, I see that McSame came up with a new offensive (in more ways than one) strategy in the last week that has Obama on his heels. I agree with the great post of earlier that getting into a pie fight isn't the way to do it - but also agree with many who are worried about just sitting back and taking the punches. I really believe Obama needs to go on the offense himself - now!
And how should Obama go on offense? I imagine we all have ideas - and it would be fun to hear them - but my idea is that Obama should assertively start throwing McSame's voting record at him in commercials. All his votes against helping our service people (note Keith Olbermann's great report last week); his anti-education votes; his anti-environmental votes; his anti-choice votes; his VOTING ALONG WITH BUSH 95% of the time!!!
I am not sure if team Obama is playing rope-a-dope or what, but I think he can't lay back and take punches too long, because he is getting defined by McSame. It is time that Obama start defining McSame - GO ON OFFENCE!!
