During the 2000 campaign...

I kept saying, "Soon, the Dems will start hitting the Repubs hard." I waited in vain for that to happen.

In 2004, "Soon, the Dems will start hitting the Repubs hard." I waited in vain... again.

I'm currently saying, "Soon the Dems will start hitting the Repubs hard."

Time is short until the election.

It ain't like we don't have ammo.

Gore had ammo, Kerry had ammo, too.

WTF???

At least the Dems could buy some air time and play some relevant Daily Show clips.

President Palin.... it's got a ring to it!

1. Corpmedia pumps up the volume for GOP's attacks, and hits the mute on Dem counterattacks.

They are as complicit as can be - and until Dems as a PARTY are willing to call them on it, the corpmedia will act only in its self-interest.

BTW - you never HEARD the heavy counterattacks the Kerry camp launched in 2004. If you relied on corporate newsrooms and their editing of the campaigns, you definitely didn't hear the many attacks Kerry launched against the swifts and Bush.

2. We definitely need more TV ads in FL

The same Obama ad has been running here for weeks -- McCain saying how he's voted with Bush** 90% of the time. It's a GOOD ad, don't get me wrong. But people tune out after a while.

We need a hard-hitting ad on how Obama's proposed tax cuts will benefit 80% of taxpayers as opposed to McCain's proposal (and stop mentioning the "top 1%"; people have tuned out on that too), and another to take the lipstick off that pig Palin.

3. Its time NOW for the Obama camp to shoot down the "Maverick" hot- air balloon...

Start by playing the numerous clips where he and Palin use the term "maverick"...then point out how much of a "maverick" he is NOT.
