Slog - Comments on McCain's Strategy http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/06/mccains_strategy I know the McCain camp is trying to look all new media now that it's going up against the tech-friendly Obama masses, but is it really wise to put your general election strategy up on YouTube? Even if some of it is no doubt a headfake? In any case, here follows 14 minutes of McCain election plans, with some interesting nods toward the Pacific Northwest:...

1. "Disaffected" dems scare the hell out of me -- this is the group I've been certain, from Day One, would never vote for an Af-Am candidate

2. The DNC better get on the ball WRT fundraising

3. Davis says "respectfully" versus "respectively." For this he must die.

Interesting overview.

1. Lie

2. Lie more

I don't think McCain realizes that being a 20 something now is very very much different than what it is like being a 20 something when McCain was in his 20s.

Remember he was pronounced politically dead last summer only to capture the Repubs' nomination (even with most of the right wingers screaming they will never vote for him). DNC better hope those young people who voted for Obama show up in November 'cuz the geezers are more likely to vote for McCain and they ALWAYS show up to vote.
