How Obama has been boxing McCain in is amazing
I sit back and watch this and am amazed at the political savvy going on here. Obama always always starts anything about McCain with "we honor his service".. a "genuine WAR hero"..I know it gets a lot of people juiced. But look at what is happening.

As McCain has to face up to things (ie the 7 kitchen tables, housegate, calling his wife names), the first response is always, POW. Now at what time does this start to sink into the general electorate, that you cannot run a country on POW. The republicans and their operatives are opening themselves up to much closer inspection than was given before. I hear there are even new columns out on it today.

Its like a death by a 1000 cuts. Each one small, each one making that wall the Rove people are trying to build around him that much weaker.. so that a bowling ball like Biden can just blow it down.

Amazing,.. if Obama runs the country half, make that 1/4th as effectively as he has done this campaign, we are riding high folks.

himself out. When ever he speak unscripted 9 times out 10 he will say something stupid, Obama just need to start magnifying those gaffes more by bringing it to the media's attention and make the media talk about it.

5. At first I was annoyed that Democrats play into the "war hero" think so much.
But it has gotten so out of hand that I think it helps now. It's become totally meaningless, like it's just a sound he makes with his mouth. "he's a war hero, BUT"...
