He threw down the gauntlet one more time-this time on McCain's BS about having a plan to catch OBL. Now that I think about it, McCain's "plan" sounds suspiciously like Nixon's "secret plan" to end the Vietnam War.
Why is a cable TV news anchor so capable at enunciating this core truth? Why is he much more effective at cutting to the jugular against McCain than the people who are opposing McCain? When are we going to see the Dems attack McCain at an obvious weak point like this?
A half-baked and half-bright former beauty queen w/ enough skeletons to fill 2 closets has turned what should be a solid Dem win into a horse race. There are multiple lines of attack to be unleashed against both ends of the GOP ticket, yet, few, if any, of them are being utilized. Hell, both members of our ticket belong to a caucus that's just now realzing that JoeMentum is a problem.
KO is doing Axelrod's and Plouffe's work for them every night. He did yeoman's work for them tonight. When will they pick up on his lead?
UPDATE: I yearn for the Dems to offer the cogency and the directness that KO gave us tonight. He's dead right--If McCain has a plan to get OBL, then WTF is he doing not sharing said plan w/ the CIA, the NSA, and/or other relevant agencies? Is capturing the world's most wanted terrorist to be held hostage to McCain's ambitions?
If this approach is "country first," then I need to look into alternative citizenship. It's way past time for the Dems to clobber McCain on this issue.
UPDATE II: Too bad a 527 can't run an ad featuring excerpts from this Comment. While the Peacock obviously holds the copyright to KO's show, the basic concepts he set forth certainly can be used. An ad comparing McCain's plan to Nixon's Vietnam "secret plan" might work.
Between that "plan" and McCain's choice of Spiro in a Skirt for VP, the Nixon/McCain parallels grow.
