#1 Just wait until McCain starts telling people about the DemonRats hands in the Fiancial Crisis (including Obama and the thugs at Acorn - Hannity covered this during his show today).

#2 If you ask a Donk what Swiftboating means they reply lies [though they haven't disproved the basic accusations]. You ask just about anyone else you get something along the lines of identifying shortcomings of the opponents record. Same here. In Obamaian Newspeak smear is their term for reporting the record. However, when they actually engage in an overt campaign of rumor mongering directed at Gov. Palin, its cool.

#3 Smear Campaign -- a political tactic of deliberate attempts to malign another individual or group's reputation.

I have absolutely problem with that as long as it is done with truth.

#4 Heard today Barack Hussein Obama is rolling out the Keating 5 Savings and Loan scandal. Only one problem, McCain and John Glenn (Democrat) were both exonerated. Alan Cranston, Dennis DeConcini, and Donald Riegle of the Keating 5 were all Democrats. BO will try to link McCain to Bush and the current economy. Palin and McCain ought to take the "Make my Day Punk Approach."

#5 I think the McCain campaign has done well up to this point, especially considering the money gap and msm narrative. One month left, 4th quarter, time to pull the stops and win this. They have quite a few advantages to play and they need to.

Without question Palin won the VP debate against Biden. This is important because Palin can frame the next presidential nominee debate (Tuesday 9ET). Most of the grunt work has been done so McCain needs to deliver. Stuff like "If Obama is about change then why does he and Biden agree with our platform?",
"Lawyers do not make decisions they influence people..judges make decisions. Both Obama and Biden are lawyers so where is the variety of background?",
"Why on the important subject of Russian policy did you Obama switch subjects and talk about housing?",
"It is so important for the president to be right the first time.. Obama's remarks about 10,000 people dying in Greensburg in the 53rd state of Cotex (a movement not too long ago for east CO, west KS, TX and OK panhandles to form their own state as a protest of tax dollars being funneled to urban areas, lost a lot of momentum with a silly name) from someone who wants to go 'all in', a desperate move in Texas Hold'em anyways, without knowing the rules of the game and how many cards are in a deck is not being strategic but foolish.",
"You explained your name is of Kenyan origin, did you know that the OIC has been disrupting the government and economy of Kenya keeping its citizens in poverty and killing innocents.",
"You accuse me of not being able to multitask well I'm here to tell you that it is tough enough to land a jet on an Aircraft Carrier nevermind fly a combat mission. If I wasn't able to multitask the Navy would not have even let me fly never mind performing combat sortees. As your running mate stated the economic crises was as dire as when FDR explained the situation on TV in 1932. Why, then as first and foremost a senator did you not participate in the crises though you claim to be the great uniter and wanting oversight, oversight which someone cannot be part of by calling in on the telephone?",
"The first appointee of a president is their choice for vice-president. Joe Biden, who was so wrong about so many topics during the debate, says he is going to carry the load of your policy advancements. Are you going to have someone else advance policies which you feel are important enough to become federal law or does Joe Biden not understand your intentions?"

I get the msm in the tank (2 chances left where the msm cannot ignore you), I get the Maverick meme; its go time lets get fired up.
