Reply #19: If Carville is brought in...

..and it sounds like that will happen----oh MAN!

They will try to slice and dice him seven ways to Sunday.

I'm sure his people are "on it." However, I'm concerned.

You have to get in front of these people. You have to anticipate
their next moves and head them off at the pass.

Obama has plenty of substance. I read through his entire plan
and that's what tipped me into his camp. However, most people
don't understand these things positive things about him! Many
are responding to some of his ideas, but many are also responding
to how well he inspires.

His ability to inspire is important. However, Carville will make
fun of it and turn it into a negative--for sure.

They must get on top of this.

They're going to take a sledgehammer to him. He can't just ride
this popularity wave. Time to get down to business and leverage
your ideas and craft messaging that makes it impossible for the
negative "He's all talk" messaging to stick.

He really needs to say something like, "Now that I have your attention!"
and launch into a new phase of the campaign where he drives home his
experience and his past accomplishments. He needs to joke around about
the phenomena that he has created. Deflate their nasty attacks before
they're launched out of the microphones.

If he doesn't do this, he's toast!
