My Message to Obama today
YOU MUST BE MORE AGGRESSIVE!!! Here are some talking points and potential ideas for ads.

1. If Sarah Palin is so qualified for the presidency, why is she UNQUALIFIED TO EVEN HANDLE A PRESS INTERVIEW? You cannot be trained in foreign and domestic policy on the run for four weeks and be prepared to take over the presidency?

2.McCain is not just More of the Same, that is too tepid. He represents DOUBLING DOWN ON FAILURE. When Bush took over, he had a strong military and a strong economy after 8 years of a Democrat running the country. The next president will inherent what has been created by 8 years of Republican rule, a very over-stressed military, a fragile and weakened economy, a huge debt, and two wars. WHEN YOU ARE IN A DITCH, YOU DO NOT KEEP ON DIGGING. America cannot take the ENORMOUS RISK of John McCain.

You need more muscular and focused attacks that SCARE people about McCain, make him the RISKY candidate, including his warmongering and his empty, dangerous lack of ideas for the economy. Also point to his very political, not-country-first choice of Palin, who is totally unready to rule. Don't be intimidated by right wing attacks about sexism or her supposedly being more experienced than Obama. Punch them hard and ignore their BS!!

1. I agree completely. I'm pretty sure these arguments are coming.
She is a lot more like Bush than McCain is.

3. Doubling down on Failure McCain
Doubling down on Failure McCain should be the new catch phrase

2. And don't let Palin get away with that "girl" crap.
That is sexism at its worst.
