Guess Obama decided to take the "low road" tactics.

Hypocrite and ageist.

Sarah release your tax returns..Biden just released 10 years

Barry: why don't you start impressing us with your long list of accomplishments that merit your being even considered to be president.

So much for reformers and maveriks. Mccain and Palin would release an add accusing Obama of sex on a legislature that wil protect our kid from sex predators.. Low road!!

Release your tax returns Sarah. I like to see how you expensedgetting paid with tax payers money for staying at your own house..

I share the same frustration as the man in the N.H. audience. I was waiting until mid-september to give to the Obama campaign, and at an amount I'd given several times before. After McCain picked Palin and started running on a "poor Sarah Palin is a victim" narrative, I decided to double it. But after seeing how McCain is being such a blatant bully, and that Obama isn't responding with nose punches... I'm not giving, and I won't until he starts punching back.

"the rolling Sarah Palin media sensation"

-----------------------------------------

Independents, moderate Republicans, Democrats, independent conservatives, and major credible media outlets like ABC, NBC, CBS cannot get a handle on "the Sarah Palin media sensation", because - to date - that is all she is. McCain operatives want to keep it that way. They know that by keeping her a media icon, a "celebrity", by keeping discussion restricted to her "image" & not to her record as a politician - McCain wins.

=======================================

Frankly, I believe the only way Sarah Palin can be brought down to earth is if concerned citizens restrict their discussion of her entirely to well-established FACTS.

To much time and energy is being wasted in a raging debate based on nothing more than right or left-wing FANTASIES of Sarah Palin. Precious little time is being spent on discussing her ACTUAL record as a politician. There is a record. the facts are out there.
That record DOES conflict with statements she has made about herself, and it also clearly contradicts what many liberals believe to be true about Sarah Palin.

========================================

How to re-ground a discussion of Sarah Palin in reality? Some places to start:

1. http://www.factcheck.org/
A non-partisan project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania.

2. www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/

A non-partisan service provided by the St. Petersburg Times & the Congressional Quarterly.

3. The Anchorage Daily News
www.adn.com

Alaska's leading daily newspaper. These guys KNOW Gov. Palin's record. The articles you'll find here are based on intimate familiarity with her entire political career.

=======================================

I personally would welcome any other suggestions - from either supporters of McCain/Palin or supporters of Obama/Biden for media outlets that can provide citizens an unvarnished, fact-based discussion of these two rival campaigns and their candidates that is GROUNDED IN REALITY and NOT FANTASY.

lol mccain claimed he would run a campaign where he did attack character... guess that doesnt matter though huh JA?

no mccain can go back onhis word, but if obama responds with strong ads, then hes a jerk a liar and just a hypocrite

how pathetic the mccain camp is out of their minds, sara palin last night showed his pick was a political move to gain the sexism card to play.... she has no experience to even be taking on the number 2 spot

if something happens to mccain then we are left witha very very scary president, one who has no idea what is going on in the world or what us policies are.

mccain and palin are a very scary choice

James,

I agree about McCain taking the low road. What... is he AGAINST protecting kids against sexual predators?? Sick that they would distort that. Beyond revolting.

Was Obama's Freudian slip about his Muslim faith the WRIGHT thing to say?

looks like the one who invented Vista should be the CEO instead the one who can invent DOS

New poll for Washington/Oregon is coming soon. Both states will become swing state.

Obama has to fight there too

Obama has to start responding to all the lies and smears. The Karl Rove Swiftboat Party is an expert in smear tactics.

Come on Obama go on the offensive!

And to all Palin supporters who took offense with Charlie Gibson's questions, they obviously didn't see the grilling Obama took back in April from Gibson. It was 100 times more harsh than the softball questions he put to Gov. Palin.

Incidentally, I think that Obama should fire his media advisors.

Jon Stewart or Steven Colbert do a far more pointed job calling out McCain on his hypocrisy, lies, and smear.

Obama - fire your media team. Your latest "attack ad" against McCain is lame, not very funny - a disappointment. You don't do SLEAZE well. Don't bother trying.

Just buy a couple of the clips the Stewart Daily Show ran during the week of the RNC and run these as your attack ads against McCain.

Both Stewart and Colbert turned out remarkably biting, funny, and spot on critiques of McCain and his campaign - OVER NIGHT.

Stewart & Colbert have been on vacation for the past week, but their bits on McCain & Palin are still the most accurate and clear-eyed look at McCain's metamorphosis into a sleaze merchant out there.

========================================

You can find the clips on their respective websites.:-)

Anyone can tell you Obama's attacks are sharp but of very low standard and he will not go anywhere with it. He is using the same formula he used during Hillary. The excitement of "Change" mantra was so overused with Hillary that the Staleness of that formula is not sticking with people. He has to become more practical and keep his feet on ground than staying as a Orator unless he wants to become Pastor.

Vote the issues folks. If you are making under 250,000 a year vote Obama, if you are luck enough to be making over 250,000 a year vote McCain. Forget the stupid partisan crap it's a joke. This election has been taken over by the MSM for ratings. The issues and facts are not there concern it's all about the money, so make this about YOUR money.

Real Clear Politics:

RCP National Average 44.9 47.7 McCain +2.8

Favorable Ratings +18.8 +20.8 McCain +2.0

Intrade Market Odds 46.6 53.0
McCain +6.4

Go Obama - just keep those sexist remarks coming in These numbers continue to show you sinking down the porcelain fixture.

I am from a state that is fortunate enough to have a great republican governor. Our governor has guided the state from a huge deficit to a comfortable surplus, cut property taxes by 1/3, improved the infrastructure, and is fixing the school system and working toward health care for all, some decisions have been unpopular as some state employees had to actually do a days work for a days pay. Our governor runs the state like a CEO of a successful company. This is what we need in a president, a person that can run this country like a CEO of a successful company. Oh, by the way, I am not from Alaska and I don't see any such qualities in McCain or Palin. I have to give Palin one thing, she sure does know how to wag the dog. One day for the bridge to no where, then when the time was right she opposed it and kept the money. Back stabbing appears to be her strong point. For McCain he would have probably made a fair president during the civil war.

You seem selective with your facts even though they're not all true. Live on rumors, do you?

When a mouse roars the world still hears a squeak.

Obama is a defenseless child in a world of lions.
