Obama/Biden NEED some talking points.. sorry

[holiday]

The whole McCain voted with Bush 90% of the time, while true is getting a little old.

Is Obama low on money or something?? He can still give zingers and break things down in one sentence slogan while still telling the truth and taking the high road.

The ads here are the same two ads all the time... They need some more talking points.. they need to be on t.v. more. They need something to swing the media back to them!!

1. I agree. things that are highly quotable by media. His speeches are sounding a bit similar now. nt

[AnotherMother4Peace]

2. I agree - simple, honest, to the point talking points - disseminated to media and supporters. n/t

[AllieB]

3. They need better speechwriters or PR/Marketing people

They have got to start calling out the liars.

[slinkerwink]

8. their media team does kind of suck

4. There's plenty from which to choose -- I hope they're working on something now.

I was thinking I'd like to see a spot extrapolated from this:

5. You should listen to some of the talking points online.

Instead of waiting to be fed them.

6. McCain is Bush III. Palin is a trained monkey. Republicans have no interest in the average american.

9. we've talked before that if you repeat something enough

the masses believe it.. well they should be repeating more than McCain voted with Bush 90% of time!

[begin_within]

7. The only thing McCain and Palin would change is the stationery.

10. Good ones - Maybe we should help them out with a "talking points" thread. nt

15. exactly

11. Perception is truth

We create the truth by making the sheep believe what we want. Say it enough, stay on message and they will believe it! 6.1% unemployment. 6.1%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Failed policies of the last 8 years... we can't afford 4 more. Simple message that even the idiots can understand.

12. It's old to you, but not to all of the people they are speaking to.

Most people aren't political junkies like we are here, and don't hear this stuff day in, and day out like we do.

[Bobbie Jo]

13. Listen and learn....repetition makes it true..repetition makes it true

Why in the hell do you think the repukes repeat the same lines over and over?? Eventually you will hear it repeated as gospel truth by your next door neighbor.

[msongs]

14. try speaking plain american and calling liars what they are, liars - like fight back?

3 days of character assasination going unchallenged? who wants another kerry? you? well I know they must be planning something but wasnt it biden that said his mom told him to fight back? looks like he was preaching to choir today and sounded good but that needs to be spread far and wider.

well in california we are nothing but cash cows now so we are out of touch with what is happening elsewhere.

16. Republicans = record filibusters + record vetoes + record signing statements = nothing good.

[HughMoran]

17. I'm sure they're making more ads as we write this

I don't think they are planning on losing.

18. For a week McCain has been running an ad claiming Obama and the

"out of touch" Democrats in Congress will mean more deficits, more unbalanced budgets and "painful tax increases for working families". I nearly have a stroke everytime I see that ad and they seem to run it a lot.

I have yet to see anything from the DNC or Obama in response to this. Somthing like "Hello? Clinton left us with a balanced budget and a surplus?"

Of course, that's part of the problem, the Democrats need to respond - why don't they run some ads slamming the Republicans first?

[holiday]

20. I seen that one too. and umm don't we already have

unbalanced budget, deficit and more than tax increases we have triple gas prices, home foreclosures, job loss, unemployment, manufacturing jobs gone.

c'mon this shit is easy.. they should have no trouble putting out ads and talking points.

the dems need someone on their side like Rove (but with a soul)

19. Joe Biden was fabulous on the stump today.

No need to second guess these guys. Obama has demonstrated he knows what he is doing. Obama is doing precisely what he intends to do, and I have no reason to doubt that.

In fact, with the Keith Olbermann-Rachel Maddow prime time two-hour block one-two punch starting next Monday on a TV near you, things are looking pretty good right now.

[dflprincess]

21. Ads on the major networks reach more people

than Olbermann and Maddow. They need to start running some ads that get the message across fast - and they need to run ads that remind people that the crooks that got us into this mess are not the ones who can get us out of it. They and we need to stop assuming that everyone pays as much attention as we political junkies do.

[AtomicKitten]

23. Obama has demonstrated a confident and different rhythm in his political timing.

I think it's been one hell of a ride and I'm having a great time.

[cottonseed]

22. "These guys are going to screw it up".

I think Biden can deliver this one. Talking about the Economy, Foreign Policy, Governing... Do not trust these guys, don't trust this party as it's currently put together, "They will screw it up".
