- - - Like the Swift boat attacks of 2004 on Senator John Kerry, a decorated Viet Nam Veteran -- this assault will be on what is now a strength of Barack Obama's -- his focus on changing a broken system in Washington. To make this assault, McCain picked in Palin someone who has taken on the corruption in the GOP in Alaska, turned against her own party's establishment, and fought for reform. The McCain/Palin duo will challenge Barack Obama's claim of "a new kind of politics" and chastise Obama and Democratic vice presidential Nominee, Joe Biden, for their "silence" in taking on corruption in their own party in Illinois, Delaware and Washington, DC. The McCain campaign intends to claim that "more of the same" in Washington means Barack Obama and Joe Biden and will make the argument that if you want to "shake things up" then McCain and his reform minded running mate from Alaska will get the job done. My initial reaction was that in picking Palin, McCain had taken away the argument that Barack Obama wasn't ready to be president. I now think my initial assessment on that score was wrong. Over time, the McCain team will insinuate that if you think a first-term Governor isn't ready for the number 2 slot, are your really sure that a first-term Senator is ready for the number 1 spot? - - - Damn, I was hoping the clearer heads on the Dem side wouldn't get any air time for at least a week... - Bob _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
