Karl Rove has done it again...
He's defined the issues and set the discussion. This election will be about Abortion. Same play book.. same trick. Obama needs to hit hard on facts and shove it back at her. Stick to economy.. jobs.. health care.. high gas prices. The first thing I would call her on is her "Union" comment about her husband. She is obviously anti-union and anti worker. Did she use Union benefits heallth care to have her last baby? Does her family benefit from the Union wages? Expose this bitch for the phony she is.

2. Karl Rove hasn't done shit...
There were no issues defined tonight and the only discussion was a one way wing-nut hate fest! KKKarl's a blowhard douchebag who has been lucky or criminal in his political life. Plus, he looks like he belongs in the cast of "Deliverance"...

3. That's what they're trying to do.
I don't think Obama is in a cooperative mood, though. He already hit back with a pro-choice ad that will take the wind out of the anti-choice people's sails. Unlike previous Dem politicians, he knows that most people favor Rove V Wade, and is charging into the the issue full-bore. He's taking Rove's tactics away from them. You watch. The Puggies will get no traction.

5. INDEED! How much has the electorate changed in 8 years? A LOT...

Even if people don't change, the old ones die!

If you look at the demographic at the RNC, including the candidate, it appears many won't live to vote in Nov. :rofl:

4. Well, it is hilarious to see how they are trying, in desperation, to make it
all about emotion instead of reason, but they are losing ground faster by showing up!

The emporer is naked, and everyone has seen it.

6. It's old hat
Karl Rove is old hat. It doesn't work any more. Its playing Foghat at a teen dance.

Barack orchestrated his convention perfectly to:
First night- Build his character
Second night- display unity with Hillary
Third night- frame the issues with Bill
Barack's speech- tear at Bush and the world the Repubs have left us while explaining his perspective.

Barack can frame the debate better than Karl, because when Barack does it, people realize how petty their digs are. He, like none other, can confront their character attacks like none other, because he calls them out.

Barack is sitting back right now and letting her skewer herself. And then he will bring the country together again, like he did last week.
