I second that @1. Let's hope the "undecided" will actually start paying attention to policy rather then personal attacks.

50 days to the election and now he is fighting? Probably too little too late. He needed to pound on McCain two months ago and keep pounding him.

Politics is a blood sport and the Democrats barely understand that fact. That and the entire issue of race that won't play out in the polls but will play out on election day.

We are screwed when McCain wins.....

@4: He needed to pound on McCain two months ago and keep pounding him.

It takes a LOT of money to open a lead and sustain it in a close race. Letting this Palin business die down is not bad strategy, either. I'd much rather see him rebound in two to three weeks and pound him until the end of the election than to waste time and resources on getting better poll numbers two months before the elections.

Agreed with 5. The bulk of undecideds weren't paying attention 2 months ago; it would've been money wasted.

Is there video of McCain saying "economics isn't my strong suit" or whatever it was he said? If so they should be running that, too.

Yeah, just looking at how quickly the polls fluctuate, I'd much rather Obama save his firepower for when it's really going to make a difference. I'm less worried than I was a few days ago.

@5, that was the John Kerry strategy in 2004. How did that work out for you?

That's an awesome ad. Now run a million more just like it over the next seven weeks.
