Reply #67: Idea Right, Tactics Wrong

[erpowers]

I think the idea of Obama using the sex ad against the McCain camp is right; however, I do not think Obama should go after McCain's age. I contend the Democratic party needs to consider the fact that elderly people are considered to be the most dependable voters; they vote every time there is an election. It is very possible that elderly people will become angered if Obama goes after McCain's age. In addition, I do not think Obama needs to go after McCain as Palin's bitch. I think they should just continue to hit back about the lies that McCain and Palin are constantly telling. In addition, I know it could cause some problems, but I think there needs to be a reference to the fact that the McCain campaign is complaining about Obama's support for sex education, but Palin's daughter is pregnant. Should the McCain campaign really come out against sex education at this point.

However, it was announced today that Obama would no longer stand in the way of the independent group that could run ads against McCain. I contend one of the first things these groups should do is make an ad detailing the numerous time Republican's have used the term lipstick on a pig. Then they should make an ad showing all the time McCain made derogatory statements about his own wife.
