How many DUers think that the GOP wanted to spend convention week

[NJmaverick]

attacking Obama/Biden and the Dems instead of trying to defend their choice for VP?

[No Elephants]

1. They are defending her BY attacking Obama. It is not either or.

[NJmaverick]

3. It's not the same as a carefully planned attack

Remember how Obama and the Dems were able to control the message? The GOP doesn't have that luxury. They are flailing about trying to put out all the Palin fires and at the same time attack Obama (often in ways that defeat their defense efforts).

[Orsino]

10. They need to defend her...

...but she is indefensible, so their strategy consists of attacks. This doesn't make them look less foolish.

[Kajsa]

2. I do,

they are trying to do both, imho,
and not succeeding very well with
either one.

4. It sure killed their main theme for the week

Not Ready 08 was their original attack plan

[NJmaverick]

6. I don't know I think that theme could still apply to the McCain/Palin

ticket.

5. exactly. those saying stop, stop.... well you know what, this is not the week they wanted

baby story opened media to open their eyes a bit. wonder what else is out there they say. no rosy little picture they were doing all while du was gathering. and another thing, we had time to gather a lot of stuff that has now been scrubbed and voices from people that are different than what we had......

IF mccain had vetted, wouldnt have found nearly so much

7. This Palin problem really messed with their game plan but i expect 911iani to come out with

his 9/11 guns blazing tonight. They lost 2 days so far.

[NJmaverick]

8. The problem with 911 is that Palin would be a disaster

if she had to handle something like that. So again the Giving Tree (aka Palin) has defanged this line of attack.

9. You ain't lying.
