looks like they're regrouping. though he did lay it a bit thick with the "i love america too much for that to happen"

yeah, okay.

but ol fudders can say bye to his 4 point lead forever if they keep it together. obama team seem to be going down refuting the basic fundamentals of mccains campaign rather than playing the tit for tat. if obama is serious about discussing the economy in debates it could fill that gap of "just what the fuck are you planning to do here" that's slowly bugging and bugging me, and could finally solidify that win.
ol fudders' campaign hasnt seemed to think thoroughly enough as to what to do about palin that isnt recycling her rnc speech. and they also seem to be running on old tactics left over from 2000 and 04.. umbrage and huff and distraction. as savvy as they've been obama just has to try a smidge to look like he's seeing right through them and is ahead of their game. i thought the his sppech stood a better chance than usual at successfully ridiculing the distractive element
if it was deliberate it'd be pretty smart to have lain low while fudders had his time in the sun. the media needed 5 years with their love affair with bush to finally get the picture and release the floodgate of awful, and now he's a joke. you let the opposing candidate get away with pumping their message for a few days and then it makes tearing it down for everyone to see that much more effective it seems.
