A "concern" I have about the georgian conflict.
Edited on Thu Aug-14-08 06:06 AM by 4themind
Does anyone have the fear/expectation that McLame is going to make an add showing Obama on a split screen jogging on the beach while showing the bombing/fighting from the Russian/Georgia conflict. I think Obama's response is textually correct and not presumptuous (like McCain's was in my view) but my concern is that,they'll use those images to imprint them into the minds of voters. But maybe it's just hand wringing on my part, and people just won't care about this, and also McLam has said that he doesn't want to politicize this, so if he goes back on that, Obama can use his own quotes and hit him over the head with them. 527's may pick it up but Obama can still push for a statement from McCain to repudiate them, again based on his previously stated desire that the conflict should not be "politicized". I guess the bottom line is I (and I think everyone else with the exception of mcLame perhaps) want this conflict to end soon.

1. Good Thought

. . . but no, I don't think people will care. And anyone who really is moved by such an ad will probably take the time to make the extra analytical steps, and see clearly that McSame came off like a complete maniac in the whole exchange.

I was a little worried about Obama's vacation, but now it looks like it was a fine move.

4. If McSame has an ad like that, here's what the Obama campaign can do...
"Does anyone have the fear/expectation that McLame is going to make an add showing Obama on a split screen jogging on the beach while showing the bombing/fighting from the Russian/Georgia conflict."

Oh really, McSame? Time to show you and Bush eating cake while people drown in New Orleans.

Done. NEXT!

5. Counter It With Ads Showing McCain's FP Advisor Receiving Bribes From Georgia
Then show McCain's ad, and McCain's complaint about politicizing the conflict. Next.
