The dog that didn't bark (yet)
One thing missing from the campaign so far is glaring in its omission since it was such a panic-button issue earlier: Drivers licenses for illegal aliens.

Immigration went away for a while because of McCain's own problem with the issue, but he's back in the nut-right's good graces now. I think they're saving that particular anti-Obama ad campaign until the last week or two, probably in 527 form and specifically targeted in Colorado, Virginia, Ohio and Michigan.

Colorado, Ohio and Michigan are obvious. I include VA because Obama's Virginia stronghold of Arlington, Alexandria and Fairfax county have amazing immigration levels, and the rest of the state is just flat racist.

1. The right wing hasn't even started to attack Obama yet!

Obama had better be ready for some brutal attacks, because they will come.

The best defense? A good offense. Take down McCain before he takes them down.

2. Immigration is a great wedge issue to use against the republicans.
The corporatists love it because they get cheap labor. The bottom feeders hate it because they hate brown people and foreigners. Pit those two sides against each other and we win.
