I think we might need to see a few more mentions of McCain/Bush on Obama's blog at this point, don't you? This election should be a referendum on them, not him. They've been in power, they've got the record. If the election is all about Obama, the Democrats are giving up their argument.It was supposed to be about how great Obama is, but against the GOP smears, that doesn't appear to be working.
Time to get pragmatic.
You know, I think Digby and whomever said that Obama's been playing rope-a-dope are a little off the mark.
ReplyDeleteSee, back when Dems were Dems, the Clinton administration all the way to Kerry--the party would just say, "We won't dignify that Wen Ho Li lie/Monica impeachment/Kerry didn't deserve a Purple Heart smear with a response." And they got clobbered.
I'd like Obama to get more aggressive, but he's responding quickly, succinctly and bitingly to GOP smears.
It ain't your papa's Dem campaign.
