Alex Writes...

Re: McCain's only line of attack.

He's still got:
- Obama is a celebrity
- P.O.W.
- Obama wants to raise taxes on everyone making $42K or higher (in his campaign's response to Obama's acceptance speech)
- Obama's responsible for higher gas prices
- P.O.W.
- Sen. Biden is a misogynist for beating up on Gov. Palin in the VP debate
- P.O.W.

Plus, don't discount that image could put the G.O.P ticket into the White House in '08.

What got Bush elected in '00 was the fact that he'd be more fun to have a beer with than Al Gore.

This November, those same voters are comparing a true Maverick and a beauty queen with a Secret Muslim.

I think Palin's an insipid choice, but I have little confidence in the American people doing the right thing.


Alex,

All true. I didn't say the "experience" angle was his only line of attack, but his strongest. He was set up to use Hillary's 3a.m. ad, which was quite successful. McCain has just given up that weapon with nothing to show in return.- TRM
