[gabeana]

Obama's chief strategist, David Axelrod, said a pair of Republican ads featuring Jeremiah Wright aren't airing widely enough or having enough impact to lead Obama to air a response ad.

[gabeana]

5. Is that enough to warrant a response?

And if so, what kind?

[godai]

8. Also on the football game (in VA) n/t

4. I keep seeing it on msnbc and cnn. Is he sure about that?

[Motown_Johnny]

6. Fuck it... just a 527, keep on message and GOTV, end of story

[undeterred]

7. Airing in Madison, where 25K Dems have already voted

for Obama. Let them waste their money.

9. An ad about old news two nights before Election Day

Why should they respond? Just keep up the GOTV and the closing arguments.

10. I think that's a good idea

responding to them would just draw more attention to them.

11. My 22-year-old son

was getting out of the kitchen when the ad started playing on TV. He stopped, watched the ad and said, “That is so stupid. I am not voting for the Pastor anyway," and then he kept on going, just disregarding the ad. My 16-years old, who was walking behind his older brother, said," they don't have anything new? Because that is so old! I was upset at MSNBC for airing it, but after seen my sons' reaction, I felt much better.

:rofl: :rofl:

13. Welcome to DU, mecherrosegarden~

[mecherosegarden]

15. Thanks

:hi:

[DrToast]

12. I trust the Axe...

They must feel good enough about where they are to not worry about it.

16. "The Axe" is

right!

[Johonny]

14. I think this close to the election voters are pretty harden

Personal attacks on the candidate become personal attacks on the voters that like the candidate. All this does is piss off voters to make sure they voter for Obama.

17. Changes no minds and pisses off the Dem base and helps get

out a few more votes. Not worth wasting money on.
