As is typical, leave it up to Democrats to screw-up an easy election...
Look McCain is running on the Rovian strategy of making your opponents strength a weakness. They are hitting him hard where he is effective and trying (with some success, I would add) to bring him down a few pegs. They are also running on latent racism and Xtian fundy fears. All of this negative campaigning WORKS. We, Democrats, may hate it, but negative campaigning WORKS.
So, here's the solution that Democrats will no doubt ignore or claim is "beneath them." We need to make voters SCARED TO VOTE FOR McCAIN. We need to run ads showing various video of McCain blowing up and with short temper, then cut to historical video of crises where cooler heads prevailed. We need to tar McCain with a modern equivalent of a "Daisy Ad" and SCARE THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF THE IMPRESSIONABLE DUMBASSES that make up a large section of the voting populace. These people DO NOT RESPOND to reasoned arguments and "running on the issues."
"Running on the issues" when you opponent is knee-capping you is the surest way to lose an election...just ask Kerry. We are in a knife fight for power and it's high time that we decapitated our opponent as opposed to our usual strategy of being "high minded." The latter strategy has not worked for decades. The American populace responds to blood, not brains.
McCain = Loose Cannon. McCain = Loose Cannon. McCain = Loose Cannon. McCain = Loose Cannon.
