DNC "Charge of the Light Brigade" That Could Turn this Around!
DNC needs a major ad buy with a simple (keep it simple for the masses)"generic" attack ad on the Republicans, stating: Republicans controlled Washington for 8 years and ran the country into a ditch--they are unfit to govern.....(period..nothing else in the ad).

Forget "what the great Obama will do for you"--they aren't buying it. Forget attacking McCain--the people LOVE his war stories and he's divorced the GOP from the GOP.

Like "flip flop, flip flop" that won them the last election, keep it simply "they did this to you/unfit to govern". That also means get the fuck off the money, DNC, today (not tomorrow or a week from Tuesday) and attack the BRAND NAME of REPUBLICANS. That helps Obama. It helps down the ticket. And it gets this discussion back to where it should be. UNFIT TO GOVERN, UNFIT TO GOVERN, UNFIT TO GOVERN!!!

1. Poor choice of analogies, IMO.

2. I think this is a winning strategy
Accompanied with dozens of pictures of New Orleans, companies closing, headlines in newspapers about banks closing, stocks falling, and so on. Hang them with their own rope.

7. It has to get back to telling the people who did this to them
..don't expect that the American people are bright enough to figure this out. Wave a flag in their face (like Johnny does) and they totally forget...or, worse, even think that we did it to them. I saw awhile back some ad by the DNC that did go after Republicans generically. They need more and with harder hitting images, words, etc. because if we can't tie McCain to that goddamn party, he will waltz right into the Oval Office. REPUBS=UNFIT TO GOVERN=MCCAIN

Great Idea
Shout it from the roof tops and keep it simple -

McCain = Bush

We don't need four more years of the last eight years.

Gov. Gimmick is a distracton - McCain is the real deal.

3. Charge of the Light Brigade?
Into the Valley of Death rode the 600

Ours is not to reason why
Ours is just to do and die.

Are you sure you want to cite the Charge of the Light Brigade, which Alfred Lord Tennyson described with the above lines of poetry?

5. Isn't McCain already doing this?
trashing what was, but not presenting a plan for how he'd change things?
