August 24, 200818 yr Sen. John McCain to air a new television ad (if it hasn't already) aimed at Hillary Clinton supporters.
August 24, 200818 yr Man - - - - I have to admit that I really do like this ad.....cause it says exactly what I think. If I were Hillary I wouldn't give Obama air.:irked:
August 24, 200818 yr :sleep::sleep::sleep: This is just Republican tactics to try keep the Democrats at odds with each other. We cannot allow this to continue to drive us apart, Unity will be key for us(Democrats) in the following months.

And Obama not vetting Hillary will be a bigger wedge in the Democrat party than anything that the Republicans could have done.
August 24, 200818 yr Absolutely Agree. And Obama not vetting Hillary will be a bigger wedge in the Democrat party than anything that the Republicans could have done. I think we can move past this. I really think her having her name on the ballot at the convention and allowing her husband to speak, will bring some sort of closure to her campaign and to her followers. IMHO, I believe the convention is really going to solidify the democrats behind my personal Messiah(joking )
August 24, 200818 yr Is McCain starting to run a competent campaign?Very much so and Obama seems to be doing his part to make the campaign effective.
August 24, 200818 yr Is McCain starting to run a competent campaign? The McCain campaign has some good strategy meetings, after Grandpa falls asleep. Speaking of that, does anyone remember the Seinfeld Epsiode, where Jerry's dad starts working for The Jay Peterman company; so they schedule the meetings for the later afternoon, hence he will be too tired to attend them.

There is NO BUZZ about him at all leading into the convention. The buzz is ALL ABOUT Hillary. The runnerup. The first loser. So, either, he will come out of this thing a) looking like he is awesome as there is very little expectations for him on this thing, so even been good would come across as awesome; b) the Clintons and their po'd supporters will so dominate it that he won't get the usual bump in the polls. Usually the candidate dominates media coverage. I would almost bet that Hillary and the Clintons will get MORE media coverage this week than Obama does. And then right when the convention is over, McCain will attempt to steal the spotlight with his announcement for VP.

I think that, or hope that, the Clinton's will use the convention to push the spotlight from themselves, to Barack. Anyway, it is going to be a fun week!

The focus this week, at least initially, will be on the Clintons and Hillary's bitter supporters. If she does not enthusiastically rally her supporters behind Obama, then it will be a long week for Obama regardless of how well he reads his prepared speech.
August 24, 200818 yr My question is, if Obama can't stand up to Hillary and tell her no concerning the convention, how can he stand up to the leader of a foriegn country when they try and run roughshod over him?

Obama really has to finesse the Clinton issue. Half of her voters are still undecided on whether they will vote for Obama or McCain. As my grandmother used to say; you catch more flies with honey than vinegar.
