One thing I'd like to see the Obama campaign do.
Obama has masterfully framed McCain as 90% of Bush; as more of the same. I would love to see, though, visual/verbal reminders of what "the same" is.

For example:

Foreclosures
Katrina
Valerie Plame
Scooter Libby
Karl Rove
Alberto Gonzales
Outsourcing our ports security
9/11 stonewalling
Factory closings
Failure to extend unemployment insurance
High unemployment
Health insurance companies denying dying people coverage
Abu Ghraib

That's the idea anyway. Right now, Sarah Palin seems like a funny, great gal, because the public has a short memory. Will they still be laughing when all she has is trash talk and all they have is no job, no healthcare and no home to live in?

2. Cite examples.
And I think the hardest hitting ones are where it affects personally where we can SEE it. Gas was at _____ now it's at ______.

_______Factories have closed.

The NUMBER of people who have lost their jobs.

Stuff like that.

I'm not sure too many people will pay attention to Valerie Plame, Scooter Libby, Rove, etc.
