Why Obama and his campaign are (wisely) not touching the "Waffles" thing....

[scheming daemons]

This is McCain's attempt to re-introduce race to the forefront.

Any day that the discussion is on race, is a day that the Obama camp lost.

Any day that the discussion is about issues (like today!), is a day that the Obama camp won.



The Obama campaign is wise to ignore the "waffle" thing. That's not what we want the MSM addressing.

1. yup that's why he made no noise about o'reilly's comments on Michelle Obama

[samuraiguppy]

7. what did O'lielly say

about Michelle? (I don't have cable)

Hey--I like your name Mucifer is cool--did you have that name before Palin was picked?

[blondeatlast]

8. She was here a few YEARS before anyone knew who Palin was. nt

[samuraiguppy]

10. yes I know that--but since you have also been here a while

you are aware that it is possible to occasionally to change your user name here at DU.

In fact, right after the 2004 elections, we had a major "amnesty" program where many people changed their names (because lots of peeps had chosen names that pertained to the 2004 election).

[mucifer]

13. I've had that nickname for the past 20 years or so.

I'm kinda half moose half lucifer.


sarah palin is all lucifer and she kills moose.

15. it's cute

[mucifer]

16. samuri guppy? that's gotta tell things about your personality too.

[samuraiguppy]

17. defiinitely. We both have cool unique names!

and are cool unique interesting people.

Nice to meet you!

[mucifer]

14. I chose not to repeat what o'reilly said. It was too gross.

2. Fine with me..the racists can

rot in their own private hell.

[Bread and Circus]

3. also, passivity in the face of such salacious attacks can garner empathy...

[FrenchieCat]

4. That's always the case.....

[GrantDem]

5. Agreed...

McSame would love nothing more than to accuse Obama of "playing the race card".

[gateley]

6. I agree with your assessment. Smart! nt

[blondeatlast]

9. Good points all. We definitely won the day, no doubt about it. nt

[jillan]

11. Great analysis!

Maybe the networks should hire you :)

[Canuckistanian]

12. OK, I can see that.

I'm not convinced that it's the McCain camp that's solely responsible for the Waffle thing, but it doesn't matter.

Obabma's already spoken on race and politics and it was powerful.

Let the press refer to THAT speech.

18. Yes Obama has shown some true grit when it comes to restraint.
