PLEASE STOP SENDING Sen Bob Casey out as a surrogate

I'm tired of seeing him get his lunch eaten by GOP senators every week. You're very weak when Kyl kicks your butt.

2. Blitzer's entire segment was oriented around criticizing Obama

Notice that Blitzer had a Republican and a Democrat on his show but he didn't make an issue out of anything McCain said. It was an attack on Obama for the Republican to agree with and the Democrat to defend.

First, it was all about whether Obama was irresponsible in supposedly calling for unconditional meetings with the head of Iran. Blitzer seems to be obsessed with that issue.

Then it was whether McCain was right in criticizing Obama for promoting the "big spending" ideas of Democrats.

In short, Blitzer had a hit piece on Obama.

5. Typical Blitzer move. The surrogates need to know the interviewers' and their tactics.

That has become a big part of the political process. The fascists didn't gain control of the corporate media all these years to let Democrats get their case across easily.

7. It's not only Blitzer..

last nite, don't remember the name of the show on Faux, the one that has 4 R's always nailing anything the D's do, & they said they were going to go after Obama because he's not that smart on policy, & the R's have been making a list of everything he's said so they can nail him on it..that's why McShame called for all these debates..

3. I agree. It pains me because I think that he's an endearing person as a whole,

but I specifically decided against watching him today because I knew he would get creamed.

4. Dianr Fienstien was just on CNN with KB Hutchinson and did a good job

I'm not a big DiFi fan. But she did a very good job of pointing out that we're funding the war on credit and also did well on the issue of getting off petroleum. They discussed tax policy and the change candidates. Diane prevailed in each topic, imo.

Hutchinson didn't do so well and DiFi got the last word, which is always nice. It was a quiet, low key discussion that left me feeling good about our side.

Casey left me feeling nervous. He means well but needs to get his ducks in a row and he'll be fine. The facts favor Obama.

6. They need to send out Robert Wexler

Man was he a pit bull at the rules meeting! I hope he is on the VP short list.
