For the next few days, Obama will be getting a lot of press. I think McSame
needs some, but how to accomplish that with a complicit press? The ones still left here: will they tell the truth, or act really lazy and 'in on' the fabrication that McSame is in the same league?

1. Maybe we can help Sen. McCain.
Maybe we can bombard LTTEs with our views on McCain.
I think that would be fun! :)

5. The way McSame's campaign has been melting down, no press works to their advantage
Their best play at the moment is to keep from opening their mouths and hope Obama makes a blunder. If he does, every network media whore is on the trail to make the most of it.

6. Obama's trip to Iraq
We know the mccainiacs will find some fault with the trip and use it to highlight where obama is perceived to be weak on national security and/or terror.

There seems to be a disconnect between the issue of the economy, national security and the war on terror (includes Iraq/Afghanistan).

Obama is ahead on the economy, but lags behind when it comes to national security/war on terror.

Obama needs to link the health of the economy to national security/war on terror. Maintaining and strengthening national security takes money. Waging a war on terror takes money. If our economy is weak, there is less money for national security and the WOT, leaving no option other than to continue to borrow from other countries.

Borrowing further weakens our economy and in turn weakens our national security and efforts to fight terror.

Obama needs to link the health of our economy as being a vital factor with national security/terror.

7. Leave it to the M$M to make sure McSame gets his fair share
and then some.
The M$M has always been more than fair with their coverage of the Republican candidates over the Democrat. Even when the Democratic candidate is making history they will "balance" that with even more coverage of the republicon at a bake sale or some other newsworthy act.
