It merely says that McCain is not the maverick he claims to be.

Saying what someone ISN’T never works. You have to say what HE IS.

i.e. a liar, a thief, a corrupt politician, a coward

The Obama campaign must define McCain in their own terms, not argue against republican talking points.

Yes, Yes, but talking about issues is so boring. Being side tracked by all this BS is so much more effective, it’s how the MSM goes after a story – more than 10 second sound bites and you’re down in the ratings.

Justin; Did you see J. Biden’s intrvw on Meet the Press? I think he handled the S. Palin question the correct way. He rose above it, said the public will figure it out – if she ever gets around to answering their questions, they’ll decide who’s best for them. Then he went on to discuss the issues like he OWNS them. Being the chairperson on the Foreign Policy Committee I’d say he’s squarely in the middle of that issue. You wanna see Ms. Palin in an intrvw talkin about missing emails? I wanna see her head to head against the foreign policy experience of Mr Biden. He’ll do just fine – his only problem is too much information!

I would like to see Obama talk about Obama and McCain talk about McCain–and not more “I’ll fix healthcare!” Tell me how you will fix healthcare….
