#1 I think McCain was blindsided by the economy tripping up all of a sudden and the Republicans getting blamed by a bunch of people covering their butts. I think he then waited until afterwards to go on the attack, losing momentum. Now he's got to try to regain is.

A mediocre showing at the debates and a lame plan to buyout failed mortgages is not the right way to do that, however.

#2 I think McCain needs to get a theme, and make it humorous when he goes after Obama. I think two. Something like "That's just not right" combined with "Rookie move".

Then have that tagged on the end of a bunch of ads showing the nation the Ayers, Bernardine, Wright. I'd also include one showing some of the more misogonyst things said by Obama or on his behalf, tag it with That's just not right" and show it everywhere Hillary voters are likely to dwell.

Don't get people chanting it in a rally, that's creepy, but get it in peoples minds so that whenever they hear this stuff that flashes into their mind reinforcing that Obama is a rookie who does questionable things.
