Breaking: NC and "other" states WILL run controversial

[southern_belle]

anti-Obama ads beginning next week, per MSNBC.

Norah O was just interviewing someone from the National Republican Party, and of course, they "don't want the ads to run" but have "no control" over what the 50 state Repub parties do. :(

1. This makes McCain look even weaker since it was his people who put out that they got

the ad pulled.

[Me.]

4. Not Really

He gets to have nastiness about Obama out there while seemingly taking the high road. It's a game, a vile ugly game, he's playing,

2. Boy - that was a fast turnaround --

any more info? I don't see anything on their site.

8. No more info right now. Norah is off

and someone else is on. I don't know her name. I'm waiting to see if it's repeated.

3. It's time we get this nominating contest over so Obama can spend his time combating McCain

rather than McCain and Clinton both.

12. I thought it is over?

:shrug:

5. Look, let's see what the damage is..if there's no damage to down tickets (which it shouldn't) then..

...let them air it. It puts the Wright issue out there after 3000 stories on him have been done in the MsM you've had to be living under a rock the last couple of months not to have an opinion on this issue already.

6. fuck em

bring it on,, Obama is still going to obliterate her in NC

9. I thought they were trying to prove he was Muslim?

The Pastor controversy somewhat dissproves that, doesn't it?

7. So unfair ... no anti-HRC ads because they want to run against her

So we get a preview of the general election against him (enough
to scare off any SDs? dunno) but they're NOT tipping their hand
against her.

This tactic smacks of Rove (who just can't BEAR the thought of
only DEMOCRATS deciding who our nominee will be).

[jackson_dem]

14. No, because they are assuming Obama is the presumptive nominee

It is always smart for the opposition to define a "new" candidate before he can define himself. This is what they are doing, as is the DNC with ads against McSame before McSame has gone on the air with ads of his own. We saw this work like a charm in 2004 when the RNC began running ads against Kerry in the spring.

I am sure Obama will be fine. He is immune to what happens to all "new" candidates running against non-incumbents and won't drop a single point after the rethugs attack him.

10. And the HRC boosters are applauding. Ugly business.

:thumbsdown:

11. Two tactical guidelines to consider:

Muhammad Ali's 'Rope-a-Dope': letting your opponent wear themselves out banging away at a part of your body that does you no harm but causes your opponent to weaken and become extremely vulnerable in the later, most important rounds.

Military artillery placement: never, NEVER, fire any form of artillery, be it rocks to rockets, that will not reach the intended target.

The RW is going to bring it on and I say 'Get it started'...

A delay will not improve nor strengthen OUR position...and quite possibly just the opposite...

13. Next week?

I have seen it 4 times already on our local news channel in NC.

[southern_belle]

15. Really? Yes, they said the beginning of last week.

16. It can't be the one the NC GOP had because it wouldn't work

in other states. It's probably the new Willie Horton type ad about the death penalty and gangs.
