Cry "Havoc!" and let slip the hair plugs of war. Biden goes on the offensive
 Victoria McGrane, PoliticoJoe Biden will deliver a high-profile first attack in a sustained anti-McCain offensive in a speech called "Bush 44" Monday in the key battleground state of Michigan. "Saints preserve us! They've unleashed Joe Biden!" "Those monsters!" "Flee for your wretched lives!" While the lines of attack have long been drawn, Biden will assert -- as the title indicates -- that a McCain presidency would amount to a third Bush term and will focus, in a "Is he going to say 'Stand up, Chuck'?" "Up-chuck is right." Biden will deliver the speech in St. Clair Shores, Mich., in Macomb County, the area whose voters inspired Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg to coin the term "Reagan Democrats." The RealClearPolitics polling average shows Barack Obama with a 2-point lead in Michigan, which Democrats won by slim margins in the last two elections. The speech is touted as matching the aggressive new strategy "The Angry Left gets good and angry. This time . . . it's PERSONAL!" the Obama campaign has promised to unleash in the remaining days of the campaign to counter the recent poll gains of McCain and his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. . . . Posted by: Mike 2008-09-15 |
