We were shown the key to a Nov win yesterday - will it be used effectively?
The key to a win in Nov has been not only shown to all Dems, but placed right above their hand, but will they grab it? I sincerely doubt it.

The key is linking Bush and McCain and whether people hate, like or puke over Joe Scarborough, he once made a very telling observation about the voters and that was you have to tell them something over and over again and keep telling them until they are ready to puke from hearing it. And then you have to tell them it one more time.

This is what the Dems must do with Bush and McCain.

EVERY speech they make should have some sort of Bush-McCain linkage. They need to make such an impact that when the voter hears the name McCain, he or she pictures Bush.

1. Agreed, part of me fears that the Dems will just simply screw it up as they have in the past!

3. Latest poll shows
More Americans are worried about McShame's link to Bush than Obama's link to Wright. Its time to turn our attention to November folks. Let's nuke 'em.

4. McCain is polling well because the media isn't linking

him to the chimp and the policies of the Bush Crime Family. When they mention him at all, it's generally favorable "He's a maverick" crap.

I don't know what the Dems can do to effectively overcome it. The media is never going to give them the platform to inform the public that a McCain Presidency s nothing more than a continuation of Bush. Instead, we're about to be treated to a campaign season of incessant McCain cheerleading by the corporate whores: "He's a war hero." "He's a straight shooter." "He's tough." "He's experienced."
You'll never hear "He's a freaking Bush clone."

6. McCain is in this thing to win. lets not forget that. McCain is going
into those districts were hrc mopped the floor with obama and talking to those same people and I am afraid if obama gets the nomination those voters of hrc will slide right over to the republican mccain in states like pa. ohio, indiana, kentucky, west virginia etc etc....if obama is the nominee and he loses pa. you folks can go to bed and turn out the light the parties over....

7. How can one explain prez shit-for-brains 30ish% approval..and yet supposedly 50% are voting for
McCain? How can they be against the chimp, and yet support McNutts? What about those dems who say they will vote for McCain if their own dem favorite is not nominated...???????????
I am very concerned about the future fo this country....

8. Spilt milk and the majority will come around...
I don't really believe those that say if their candidate will does not win, that they will go to McCain. Some may, but I don't think in large numbers.

We shall see....
