Attack McCain, Guys!

04 Sep 2008 12:27 pm

Ross gives some free advice to Democrats:

Do not attack . Stop referring to her as a just a small-town mayor and a neophyte governor who's unqualified to be President; in fact, stop referring to her at all. Attack John McCain, John McCain, and John McCain. Attack him all day, all night, and on weekends too. Behave as though Sarah Palin does not exist. Pray that the media will find some Palin-related scandal even more shocking than the perfervid theories aired this week (they'll be looking for one, no doubt), and in the event that they fail to do so, do not under any circumstances allow yourselves to be drawn any deeper into a debate (which the McCain campaign plainly wants to have) over the relative qualifications and accomplishments of Barack Obama and the Republican vice-presidential nominee.

1. kick

[skooooo]

2. I think they're tied at the hip, myself.

:shrug:

Either way is good.

3. Obama did precisely what you ask less than an hour ago...

[skooooo]

5. But that doesn't mean...

....he doesn't need other people attacking Palin. Right?? :hi:

4. Ignore Palin's CHARACTER.

Attack her on the issues, where she can't get away and can't cry sexism.

7. NO, attack McCain. HE'S the one running for POTUS

[Alter Ego]

9. That too--and it's like Obama said.

McCain and Palin are of like mind on everything--an indictment of one is an indictment of the other.

And you're right--Obama should stay on McCain. He's the primary target.

But there's nothing in the book that says Biden can't go after her.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

6. You are right. Obama vs. Palin is a gimmick, a trap.

She is trifling and it diminishes him to argue about the two of them.

This is what they want.

8. Can't ignore her, but we can dismiss her.

Thanks for playing Sarah, your consolation prize is in the exit room. Don't let the door hit you on the ass, OK?
