Obama Campaign, if you're reading this... do this RIGHT FRICKING NOW...
.. ok, Monday so it's hot in the news cycle.

BO calls a news conference, and the SHOW the masses he's ready to rumble on day 1, ANNOUNCE HIS CABINET PICKS. Have them there with him, send them out to be the face of his policies IN THEIR AREAS.

I'm not gonna make suggestions right now (*cough*cough*BobbyKennnedyEPA*AlGoreINTERIOR*HillaryHHS(canoppointhertothesupremecourtlater) but get the names out there, TREASURY, SECofSTATE, SEC, etc... show his plans ARE READY TO GO and watch Grampy McSame go nuts trying to fight off the attack coming from EVERY DIRECTION...

1. As political theatre, it might be a smash hit . . .

But it might also be a smashup.

Remember what happened to McCain when he precipitously picked Palin: he inadvertently stapled a decomposing moose carcass to his chest. Many of Obama's picks (presuming he's settled on 'em) almost certainly haven't been vetted or agreed to serve if he wins.

(I do like some of the names you're knocking around, though).

2. Bad idea
That just increases the number of targets the GOP can shoot at.

6. They control a majority of the MSM and all of radio
They have the resources to spread themselves out and attack on several fronts.

Besides, you know and I know they would cherry pick a couple (like Kennedy mentioned above) and lay it on thick.

And the bubba voters would buy the propoganda.

5. We have read your post and will take your advice under consideration.
Please do not be disappointed if what transpires next week does not match precisely the steps you recommend.

I gotta go now, thanks for your support.
