| Even McCain's Bad Tactics Are Working |
| 2008-08-04 |
| Intensified attacks by Republican John McCain on the character of his Democratic opponent have coincided with Barack Obama losing a nine percentage point advantage in a national poll, which showed the candidates running dead even over the weekend. McCain, who had vowed to avoid the kind of negative tactics that were used against him in the 2000 Republican primary contest with George W. Bush, began attacking Obama during the Illinois senator's trip to Iraq and Afghanistan late last month. Hmmm.... I don't see it so much as attacking, more like exposing. |

| #15 That's likely a "View Positively" rating, not head to head. |

| #13 IIRC FOX NEWS AM > CANDIDATE POLL = MCCAIN at 74-76%, BARACK at 46%??? MSM/CONVENTIONAL WISDOM > MCCAIN would still win over BARACK iff election were held today. |

| #12 The four-term Arizona senator, who backed the war and claims experience with security and foreign policy issues "Claims experience"? Only a liberal moonbat could come up with that phrase in describing McCain. Lo and behold, it's an AP article. |

| #11 Mr Steven Hurst apparently loves the word "apparently". He apparently also hates video tape that records Obama's own words that allow Obama to be mocked (I like that word, mocked, as BHO really dislikes being mocked (grin)). But apparently I'm too dumb to know what is negative, according to Mr Hurst, as I am not of the smart folks of the media. |

| #10 I'm confused. Which of McCain's tactics are bad? I read this thing and all of his tactics appear ok to me. |

| #9 Once the shine is fully off the Messiah, he is gonna sink like the Titanic. I wonder how long it will take corporate America to wake up that even with MSM shilling for the O'man with the full force of the media's power that they can't sell that product? On that morning, corporate America will move its advertising budgets and MSM will deflate as fast as any market bubble. |

| #8 And wait until after the convention: the clintons will help put the knife in Obambi's back, so as to et up Hillary for 2012 against a very old (78 years old) McCain. |

| #6 It ain't negative if it is the truth. |

| #5 The fact that McCain, who is a pretty weak republican candidate, can bring down Obama's lead just by a few flimsy ads should be making the dhimocrat leadership have kittens. Once the shine is fully off the Messiah, he is gonna sink like the Titanic. |

| #4 Another Democratic Dictionary listing scare: any comment or tactic that presents a real world or factual situation. |

| #3 Thanks, TW. I haven't seen Charleton Heston part the Red Sea for several years. I wonder if someone can splice BO's head into that scene? |
