Comments on: Could Obama Pay The Price Of A Moderate Tone? http://donklephant.com/2008/05/11/could-obama-pay-the-price-of-a-moderate-tone/ Big Teeth. Huge Ass. Surprisingly Reasonable.

Seems to me that Obama and his team operate effectively away from the spotlight and then, make it seem so effortless. My guess is that they will handle the gop fine and will do so, maybe a bit different from what is usually expected. Non conventional wisdom. That alone seems to be a strength of theirs. To operate differently then usual and therefore, able to out fox the opposition.

If the attack against McCain gets underway properly young John will have to fight off labels of hard right BS artist, mentally unstable, violent, bad temper, fiscally irresponsible, war monger, life time government employee (never had his feet on the street), way way way too old, triangulating, dishonest politician. It works both ways.......we'll see how well the Dem's and their 527's can paint young John. Dem’s can’t be too concerned about what “they” are saying about Obama.

His best move is to do a lot of town halls with mcCain, let the public see their difference Obama just needs to respond the way he has so far, we’ve seen his poll numbers tend to reamin strong regardless of what is thrown at him.
