McCain strategy

Barack ObamaBy VictorM:

It's obvious that John McCain, desperate after trailing Obama in most polls, is succumbing to the strategy that has worked before...
including the Bush team’s tactics of seeking to make campaigns referendums on its opponents — not a choice between two candidates — and attacking the opponent’s perceived strengths head-on. Central to the latest McCain drive is an attempt to use against Mr. Obama the huge crowds and excitement he has drawn, including on his foreign trip last week, by promoting a view of him as more interested in attention and adulation than in solving the problems facing American families.
That this strategy has worked before and might work now says a lot about how rotten most Republicans are for being receptive to this kind of garbage.

I just hope Obama is better at dealing with these attacks than Kerry was.

Comments:
Obama should just ignore McCain's ads and proceed as if he were already president.
 
Rule number one of politics: never let an accusation go answered.

Problem: McCain's ad, as dumb as it sounds to you and me, seems to be working. The narrative that Obama is a popular empty suit is starting to take legs. Maybe it will fizz out, but there's a whole bunch of people out there who buy into this crap
