#1 ...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.

Yeah, good strategy. Keep attacking. I mean, you aren't in free fall in the polls or anything. Gotta be a winning strategy. Especially letting Mr. Hairplugs/Gaffe machine going out on his own without handlers. You'll win lots and lots of votes that way. Really. Keep Bambi looking mad and flustered while flip-flopping too. Voters love it.

#3 Thanks, Joe. The campaign is in need of a little levity, at your expense, of course.

#4 Basically, he is to paint a dark, dark picture of America and blame Bush and his fellow HitlerChimp, McCain. With an enabling media, he will succeed. It now depends on how well McCain and his team can come back on Biden as they have on Obama. Obama is really a "girly-man" for not doing this himself.

#5 Actually, JiB it is the traditional roll of the veep candidate to sling the mud at the opponents presidential candidate so that his boss can appear more presidential.

#6 He will position the Obama camp as divisive and distinctly non-partisan and allow the McCain camp to point to the times they crossed the aisle (even if conservatives are still pissed that he did so). This will further underline the McCain/Palin=change slogan.

Americans are really fed up with the divisiveness. This tactics is stupid.

#11 Hypocrits. Joe was a single father when he went into the senate, but they're going to attack Palin for being a mother.

A bit off topic, but this article brought that to mind. Sorry.
