Obama is starting to hit HARDER and I am LOVING It.
McCain's attacks are getting more ridiculous and pathetic...he is showing his hopeless desperation. Obama is closing in for the KO, McCain is reeling...
My friends, this is an ass-whuppin' we can believe in :)

2. Obama has pride.
And I suspect he is pissed. No one steals his message. And Bush in a skirt is not going to outdo his historical candidacy. I hope he keeps fighting in his own way.

10. I can't even watch that shit.

Is that the one where McCain insinuates he's some sort of pedophile? Talk about projection!

On Edit: And here comes Rachel Maddow, as if on cue.

4. Desperation is right!
He's out-Roving even Bush's two campaigns with the garbage he's slinging these days! I'm just waiting for Obama to point that out to America.

6. It's about fucking time.
I know there are those who put forth the "don't sink to McCain's level" argument, but I think we should go on the offensive precisely because it isn't a fair fight. There's too much to hit McStain with to simply ignore it.

I'm not worried about losing to that psycho gasbag at all. However, if we actually do, I'm convinced it'll be because Obama decided to play too nice and act like a respectable adult towards someone who deserves no such thing.

16. I've never said that we shouldn't play hard, I just don't believe in playing dirty.
Hitting him on his honor isn't dirty, it's just the cold truth. :D

17. Actually, I was mostly thinking aloud.

Nothing past "It's about fucking time" referred to your post or any of your previous ones. I just think failure to use real ammo in a political race is a recipe for a much closer race than it should be, and this has been on my mind a lot lately. I believe you play as hard as you can.

In this case, though, I'll look past "dirty" if it gets us the WH back. McCain doesn't deserve classy treatment at all.

18. Well, I have my limits to what I'll accept from our side...
the limits are mostly on the kids/family.

19. Kids, fine. But if the wives are campaigning for their husbands, they're fair game.
I have been a bit nervous about how Obama seems to think his wife has a right to be left alone. She doesn't unless she withdraws from public life entirely.

8. See? People were worried for nothing
Remember, "If they bring a knife, you bring a gun,"? It's coming into play.

11. I'm noticing. I'm not sure it's an ass-whupping yet....
... but there are definite signs of life and this election will not be lost by default... a la '88 and '04.

14. We are going to win...
but I'm not going to fully believe that yet, because that might be presumptuous and arrogant.
