Kind of like how people say they want less sex and violence on TV, yet tend to watch shows with more sex and violence.<BR/><BR/>McCain needs to rip Obama's plans and cast doubts about Obama's character by pointing out all the characters that he's allied himself with, but also explain why his experience and his plans are best for America. Hopefully tonight he can contrast his plans and vision for America with Obama's socialist agenda. <BR/><BR/>You're right, but the negative ads work better than the mainstream media lets on.Jon Vander Plashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17524790609689760368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35412245.post-35446737226483148012008-10-14T20:24:00.000-05:002008-10-14T20:24:00.000-05:00Jon- what's your take on these attacks on Obama's ...Jon- what's your take on these attacks on Obama's associates? <BR/><BR/>Mine is that while these attacks most likely all true (and the public has a right to know details like this in an election), the emphasis on these relational issues don't win elections. <BR/><BR/>Also, when the McCain campaign spends all of it's energy (Palin especially) slamming Obama, then this election remains exclusively about Obama. Obama talks about his ideas, and McCain slams Obama. <BR/><BR/>Wouldn't McCain be better served to argue principally (specifically on the economy and how NOW is the time for less regulation and lower taxes and not borderline socialism)?Rudihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09767587793184366583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35412245.post-86646762394925255052008-10-14T20:17:00.000-05:002008-10-14T20:17:00.000-05:00Jon - Rob Orange here.
