Has Obama's Campaign Co-Chair Tom Daschle's "Keep the Powder Dry,.til You see Whites of Eyes" worked
Obama's hanging back while McCain/Palin implode on their own. Was Tom Daschle's strategy finally a WINNER?

Will his strategy that he used in the Senate after "Stolen Election 2000" and after he Lost his "Speakership" in '04...finally work...and Obama will WIN because of Daschel's Strategy FINALLY being the one that WINS the Presidency for Obama?

:shrug:

1. Why the past tense?
The whites of the eyes are just coming into view.

Oh - and a quick correction: he was "Majority Leader" in the Senate, not the "Speaker". No big deal, but it's kind of a silly mistake. :)

2. From someone that doesn't even know what the leader of the Senate is called...
you sure are significantly brighter than the person you're skewering...

5. Um... where do you get the idea that Obama/Biden are "hanging back"???

Have you PAID ATTENTION to the past 7 days?

How many attack ads do they have to put out to satisfy you?

How many stump speeches laying into McCain/Palin will it take?

How many strong statements?



This "Why don't they fight back?" meme is so incorrect. Have you been living in a cave?

6. I think that is what the OP is referring to
That they are fighting their asses off now (yes the past few days.)
I also feel like they were rather lame up until about Thursday of last week. In addition the media finally grew a pair of walnuts and started calling the BS of the McCain camp.

7. Yes...I'm thinking that Daschle's influence might have been pre-empted
by the need of finally taking a stand. Daschle never wanted to do that...perferring to "keep the powder dry." Daschle never saw the "whites of their eyes...that he could recognize."
