If we have learned one thing from Rove, it is attack their strengths. I don't mean swiftboating and lies, because that is not necessary and that's not what we do.

However, most people don't realize how completely off-the-wall McCain is on these national security issues: He wants to stay in Iraq another 100 years. And it sounds like he wants to start another half-dozen other wars while were at it.

He's basically running on a more extreme version of Bush's Iraq policy and national security policy, which is fine with the 30 percent club, but which won't fly with the general population if they know the details. If McCain doesn't have national security to run on, I'm not sure what else he has...
