Under Clinton average incomes went up $7500 and under Bush they went down $2000 is the closet he comes.

IOW you need to say what the change is you're talking about to reach the swing voters. Make it direct, tangible, beneficial to them, otherwise it's all just lost in the clutter or they start voting on culture war issues and in that contest McCain being tortured for his refusal to sell out other POWs is a fairly gripping story. And Palin loves guns like many of these swing voters do. And "snowmachines" -- yup they got those in MI NH OH WI MN CO NV NM too.

ITE,S.

The clever logical ripostes don't work. J STeeewart saying "hey they took the Obama meme" doesn't work. Pointing out they are just making stuff up and it's unfair doesn't work. I'd say trying to say McCain isn't a maverick won't work -- he is -- my god he was an official bad boy in the naval academy and he almost killed himself 2 or 3 times flying his plane.

And Palin? she has a tatoo. Cool.
Her First Dude went to some kind of baby shower wearing a airplane parts tee shirt. Wow, that's better than NASCAR!
Very non beltway, eh?

Can't quite see Biden with a tatoo -- what's it going to say, "cloture rules!"

Or wearing an auto parts tee shirt.

Get it on the economiy and stay there. Everything else is just clutter.

and howsabout Bush's hair in 2000? not to mention his FACE.

I guess, one thing that impressed me was this guy on CNN who more or less said the press needs to expose Palin for what she is.

And she is still out there telling the same damn speech, over and over and over again.

But you are right, state things like, drilling for oil will create more jobs ... in places where they have oil ...

Dollars and cents, and really trickle down economics is a house of cards, and they do everything but state what it is, because that is how they lost to Bush.

Next pay check, Obama gets some.

"Fool me...fool me once...fool me can't get fooled again" One of my favorite Bush-isms.

Frankly, while that song is/was overplayed and over-under-rated, it's a little refreshing to find a person who doesn't recognize it.

& for god's sake, feminize mccain. the GOP did it to kerry, and johnny's vulnerable as fuck. "kept man", "ran for office with his wife's inherited money", "her 7 houses", "her 300K wardrobe".

there is no high road.
