To DU: Obama Weathered MSM/Clinton Vicious Attacks; this is GOP's Alamo

[SuperTrouper]

Today is the beginning of the end of the McCain/Palin/Bush Movement. So far, the Palin presentation has been a novelty act. She will face questions about her positions no matter how well prepared she is by Lieberman and Company; she cannot abandon her positions and deny her NRA Membership. She has not appeared on TV because her extreme positions would shock America. But enough about Sarah, this election is not about her, she is irrelevant in the discourse of the political campaign. The polls are merely a snapshot of what is going on at that specific day. Remember that after 9/11 greatness was thrown onto George W. Bush and he rode a 91% approval rating. But he squandered the opportunity to become a great President and fell to his baseline mediocrity nad moral depravity.

John McCain enjoyed his manufactured moment in the Sun with the fictitional RNC Convention. The people who despised him suddenly gave him approval when he selected Mrs. Palin. McCain betrayed his ideals and his convictions and cynicism took over once again for expediency and opportunism. America was etherized by the opium of the right wing masses. But not for too much longer...not this time...the collapse of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the uneveness of Wall Street is sending currents of awakening to America. Americans will begin to worry about how will they pay for the oil that will heat their homes during the winter; America will begin to worry about the flu vaccines, about the pneumonias, about their health insurance deductibles...Americans will get down to the nitty gritty that has shaped our history for hundreds of years. Yes, America will discard the false promise of the Republican ticket. Americans will begin to focus on the failures of the Bush-Republican Administration over the past eight years. They will begin to ask themselves: Are we better off now compared to four years ago? Are we better off now than we were eight years ago? The answer is a resounding "No" and they will say once again: "Enough". Enter Barack Obama and Joe Biden and the promise of better times, even if it is a faint promise, heck, it is better than the promise of the status quo that McCain-Palin-Bush offer.

So the polls now reflect the jubilant America seeing the POW and the "Modern Woman" elevated, but what goes up must come down. On their way down the GOP ticket will throw the kitchen sink, yes the same kitchen sink that Hillary and Bill Clinton threw at Obama in the primaries. The same kitchen sink that landed in McCain's lap to be used at a later time. We do not need Hillary Clinton to attack the GOP ticket, and I mean no disrespect to the gallant junior Senator from New York; we do not need the MSM to fawn over Barack Obama to deliver our message. Our grassroot effort is in place and Gallup, Zogby, Rasmussen, CNN, MSNBC, Pew, and the three dinosaur networks will see their polls move into the right side of the issues and the right side of history.

1. Yes, I mentioned this in another thread. Celebrity

has a half-life of a couple weeks. Come October, the Palin novelty will have worn off.

We need to continue to pound on the most important issues - the economy and the war, how they're inextricably related, and how McSame represents a continuation of the failed policies associated with them. And we need to do so in language that the average american can relate to.

2. Exactly, we also need to become immune to polls, they are truly irrelevant

we have a fight in our hands, we need to come with machetes, knifes, guns, and plenty of ammunition to win this one. The economy is in our side. The debates will settle the McCain and Palin novelty act. America will be shocked to see the emptiness and the tired rhetoric of the failed Republican agenda.
