2. hell yeah. I love it.

obama is seriously running a good campaign. I've been more and more impressed as things move forward.

3. Yes, and it's about time.

We must systematically and succinctly dispute each and every lie.

4. exactly...

and then rinse and repeat.

5. I have wondered about the timing...

I have to believe that Obama's campaign has some big guns ready to use, but doesn't want to use them too early so they have more impact when people go the voting booths. If they wait too long, it just gets drowned out in all the white noise that inevitably increases as we get closer. I'm happy to see them doing more though. I've felt like they've been taking some big hits they should have responded more forcefully to.

6. For the past 3-4 days it's been like this.

The Obama camp has been running on overdrive, Obama has taken a sharper tone... even the major media is at the least talking about McCain's half truths and even *gasp* LIES. Who knows how long it will continue? But For now, I'm loving it! (No McDonalds, I will not pay you royalties...)

7. We're fighting fire with *water*, finally.

Let's not equate exposing truth with anything coming out of the right-wing sewers.

8. this is a great point actually.

We aren't doing what they do witht heir propaganda - it totally is putting a wet blanket on it and snuffing it out.

9. This is the first of a series of offensives..... n/t

10. It'll be interesting to see how McCain and his cronies deal with this

With how widespread the reporting of his lies and distortions is becoming, he may have to get defensive, otherwise the danger is there for him that the public will just start assuming that most of what's coming from him is a lie. And, of course, if he gets too defensive, well, many may think he doth protest too much.

11. kicking my thread with glee

12. we need to

dominate the news cycles up to the debates---then we need to destroy them in the debates (which will be easy).
