"How can John McCain fix the economy, when he doesn't think it's broken?"

by: Thomas

Thu Aug 14, 2008 at 10:56:59 AM EDT


A great Indiana-centric TV spot has hit the streets, and the message is clear: John McCain isn't ready to let go of the rose-colored economic talking points that over the last eight years have sent our nation down the path of financial ruin.

The reaction from Republicans is, as usual, laughable.
Indiana GOP spokesman Jay Kenworthy said Obama "has abandoned his pledge to be above politics as usual."

"Opening offices in Indiana and running ads here didn't move his numbers an inch, so he's going negative," Kenworthy said. "Now Hoosiers should brace for three months of negativity you can believe in."

Now, I like Jay, and think he probably has one of the worst jobs in politics right now. Would any of you want to be the go-to apologist for John McCain's atrociously bad election effort in our state? I didn't think so.

That being said, there is a key difference between articulating (read: revealing) the ridiculously out-of-touch views of John McCain and, say, putting up some nonsensical advertisement with Ms. Spears and Paris Hilton featured prominently.

Which campaign is all fluff and no substance?

Kenworthy has a job to do (0.00 / 0)
and it's heavy lifting.  Would YOU want to do it?  There aren't enouogh poop shovels.

They're really obsessed with the opening of 15 or 20 Obama offices, aren't they? They rope that into every argument they make.

Office envy, ya think?

 


the GOP is jealous (0.00 / 0)
... that Obama is paying attention to Hoosiers and McCain isn't.

If McCain things this is "negative" he has an even thinner skin than I thought. (0.00 / 0)
This is the kind of stuff we should really be seeing on the news.  Since they're more interested in John Edward's affair, Obama has to bring it back to America's attention.

"It is the first responsibility of every citizen to question authority."  --Benjamin Franklin

Yes, even Democratic authority.


Totally agree with you (4.00 / 2)
If the Media would do it's job, we'd see even bigger numbers.  Anyone who thought even in January that this was a good economy, is seriously out of touch with the mainstream of American thought.  I am very excited to be able to see my neighbors dispute that smarmy McCain face.  Let him defend 8 years of Bush.. and watch him go down in flames.  FINALLY!  This along with the "Book" video should be required viewing!

Amen to that (4.00 / 2)
The Edwards affair is a personal tragedy.  He is no longer a candidate--he is a North Carolina lawyer, whose wife is tragically dying of cancer.  They have three kids--two of them under 11.  

Yet the networks think Edwards's affair is important?  Puh-leeze.

It's disgusting.


Can we re-edit this add with Mitch? (0.00 / 0)
It seems like this ad is a great template for JLT. Just splice in Mitch Daniels instead of McCain, and you've got what should be the core message for Jill's team this year.
