Do you know where your chickensuit is?
Edited on Sat Sep-06-08 03:46 AM by sfwriter
It is time for that time honored tradition of political shame. It is time to dust off the chicken suits.

It is becoming obvious that Sarah Palin will not be sitting down with the press anytime soon, and while we want Obama to stay on message and sock it to McCain on the economy, there is no reason that every McPalin campaign stop shouldn't get crashed by a feathered friend. Just imagine it, every small town paper covers the visit and then interviews the guy in the chicken suit. That footage rolls right after McCain in every Indiana and Ohio town paper. Florida bloggers start tracking the chicken as he moves around the state. Maybe he should travel from McCain office to McCain office handing out fact sheets. He could be the noble bird of truth.

If the cops arrest the chicken, better yet, he becomes a POW.

We could get an Eagle Suit and stage a changing of the guard at McCain headquarters. Think about it. You get the Eagle there. McCain's people embrace him as a symbol of America. McCain's people call the local press for a few snaps and then the chicken shows up to replace him with the press there.

If Palin is not crowing within the next two weeks, the gloves need to come off and the chicken suits need to come out.

6. Obama needs to keep the pressure up on the economy.
As I pointed out, this is not a tactic for his campaign.

His media coverage should not include the chicken, but McCain's should get tainted quickly. That's a job for someone else, like a public disturbed by 8 years of secrecy and lack of access and this implied promise of more from McPalin and Company.

No, this is not about Obama. This is about McCain and his choices.

4. Its good to bring a chicken to a chickenhawk fight!!!
Really we the people have got to take independent action against the Repugs. The media won't do it. We can't take the chance the Demos will go all Kerry/Gore on us. :spank:

How many Iraqi vets spoke at the Demo convention?? Lots. How many Iraqi vets spoke at the Repug convention and were arrested? one. And he got his banner on national TV.:patriot:
