I want to get back to what has worked and worked well

[MrScorpio]

McCain squared plus Bush squared equals the same squared

Ignore Caribou Barbie and go after the doddering old fool at the top.

"If you liked the last seven years, you're going to love a McCain White House"

1. I disagree. Palin is the "talent". She's the one that needs to be beaten.

Hell, we were already beating McCain. Palin is the one generating the excitement and she will continue to do so unless she's shown to be the charlatan she is.

Take down he talent and the old man will drop.

2. Yeah, but I don't want to keep propping her up by attacking her with every little rumor

The more she's diminished the earlier we take the patina off of her gold star

3. Agreed. Stick to the big stuff. There's enough of it.

Use nothing that's questionable.

But I think it's important to discredit her. Do it in an incredulous way with smiles on our faces.

"Bridge to Nowhere?...well, she supported it."

"A month ago she asked what a VP did...today she says she's 100% ready for the job."

"Listed the jet on E-Bay? Yeah, she did...that's what Alaska has done for years."

"She actually said that she has foreign policy experience because you can see Russia from Alaska."

"She claims to be a reformer with a veto pen made for earmarks, but she hired a lobbyist as Mayor of Wasilla and got over $27M for a town of 7000 people. That's over $3,000 per resident."

"She decries government waste, but availed herself of a loophole that allowed her to bill the state for 314 days she spent sleeping in her own home."


...and on and on and on.

Forget about the water breaking/pregnant daughter/affair with husband's business partner/...even the troopergate stuff until it's proven stuff.

Hit her on the real, proven issues.

4. Exactly!

Winners, all!
