McCain: Play Your Game, Not Obama’s
August 1, 2008
I was excited about your campaign because of your ability to cross the isle. You have ruffled the feathers of the Republicans because of your abilities to work with Democrats on key bills. In fact you were making tons of pundits, Rush Limbaugh, mad with your centrist ways. This is supposed to be your winning strategy.
Instead you are coming out with lame ads like:
Why lame? What does, and is, Obama responding to? the celebrity jab. Why isn’t he responding to the issues? All Obama has to respond to, and what the general public wants to hear, is the jab. Making it real easy for Obama to make you look like a childish doosh with a clever one liner.
Look at the polls. If Obama is the candidate of change why isn’t he killing McCain with a double digit lead? Probably because Obama isn’t full of answers. So why do you insist on giving Obama a pass?
McCain get back to your playbook and execute.

How often do you listen to NewsGang? Just curious because I am a newcomer as a listener. I find the episodes with opposing viewpoints often help me crystalize my own thoughts.
Your “Frame,” posted at the top-right of your blog, also reflects that sentiment. It would be good to hear you express them as a participant on NewsGang Live.

How silly of me not to look at your “About” page before leaving comments!
In a way it’s too bad that it’s so difficult to tell who is speaking on NGL, but not so in other ways. One of these days I’ll figure it out.
