MSNBC stated this morning the McCain campaign has a NEW STRATEGY

[old mark]

that it is starting NOW to allow them to win the election.

The idea is so ridiculous, I couldn't even watch to find out what that grand idea might be....

The GOP is continuing to shoot itself in the foot, and many more Republicans are coming out for Obama every day, but we all must VOTE!!!

Every one of us who has not yet voted, please do so - This time for sure, every vote counts!

1. NOW?!?! Why not wait til next Wednesday to roll out a new strategy?

If you're going to be late go all the way.

[JaneQPublic]

43. Typical McCain: New campaign strategies but no new ideas to solve country's problems (nt)

[ps1074]

2. did they say what this strategy is?

:eyes:

[Hepburn]

7. The last thing I heard, but a few days ago was....

...that McAsshole was attacking Bush and that was "working."

:eyes:

[Virginia Dare]

11. That's nearly akin to attacking Hitler...

with a 20% approval rating, that's a pretty safe strategy at this point...:eyes:

[Hepburn]

25. I cannot recall which pundit said it....

...but the gyst of it was that McCain had not done this before...and it seemed to be working.

LOL...:eyes: Yep...like attacking Hitler!

[grantcart]

33. yesterday NPR had a lengthy discussion with a major journalist who had finished an article on McCain

"The remaking of the remake of the remake of John McCain" I believe it was for the New Yorker magazine

[Darold]

15. Stratergy

Yes.  They are going to shop at the Salvation Army resale shop
for new clothes.

[kysrsoze]

23. Hey, welcome to DU!

[Virginia Dare]

30. Before it's over, I could see them pulling a Lady Sarah Godiva....n/t

[MarthaMyDear]

64. Haha! Welcome to DU...yay, another Texan!

:hi:

[DemNoir]

3. I don't think so

If your rolling out a "new strategy" 6 days before the election your dead.

[Ikonoklast]

4. Surrendering is a strategy

Seems they are employing it.

[high density]

5. McCain has nothing else but to lead on the media for a few more days

They refuse to count him out because of what happened during the primary season. Reporters seem to be bored with writing about what has happened (i.e. fulfilling their traditional role). Instead they'd rather write about what might happen or what they want to happen.

[radfringe]

6. another "new" strategy?

how many have they had already? have they tied or passed the same amount of Al Qaeda #2's killed?

[Virginia Dare]

12. The McCain campaign has turned the corner! LOL!...n/t

[radfringe]

14. they are "surging" ... surge surge surge!!!! n/t

[chiefofclarinet]

21. The fundamentals of the McCain campaign are strong

[renate]

34. *Brilliant!*

I want to make a yard sign out of that slogan!

:applause::applause::applause:
:applause::applause::applause:

[chiefofclarinet]

58. Go ahead!

[old mark]

29. Yeah! They turned the corner and fell down the stairs...

I could not bring myself to watch any longer to find out what this grand new idea was. They will probably have another Monday or Tuesday....

[hisownpetard]

8. Yeah, Palin's gonna get a new hairdo.

[Schulzz]

9. Get ready for McCain 6.0.

Anything can happen, maybe McCain will tell us that he is the real Barack Obama? :shrug:

[leftist.]

50. McCain 6.0 lol! Does anyone know how many times they've tried to "reset" this pathetic campaign?

There was a very public "hard reset" about two weeks ago, and then there's the issue of his campaign's message changing almost weekly. This week's new and improved message has been the "Socialist / Spread the wealth" message which of course won't work. Remember when the message was simply that Obama was inexperienced?

[Virginia Dare]

10. How timely, less than a week before the election..

another week, another bold new McCain strategy....:eyes:

[Mike 03]

13. Oh please. I wonder what the new "narrative" will be.

This is getting embarrassing. Every time I hear McJackass say "and I've got the scars to prove it" I blush for the guy. He's never going to live this campaign down--it's the worst run presidential campaign I've ever seen.

Stanley Kubrick couldn't have made a satire this funny.

[WyldRogue]

18. I know...

...can't believe McCain would try to play off his POW as the experience for POTUS. I've even heard that he's got the scars that prove he has bucked his own party (didn't know that he was a prisoner of war being a Republican). His playing on his POW experience during this GE is a disgrace...

[bushisanidiot]

16. McHate comes up with a "NEW" strategy every friggin' week.

he's erratic, and apparently, a VERY bad decision maker. he's made one mistake after the next. guess he never changed from when he was a loose cannon as a teenager.

[Schulzz]

17. Their new strategy is that they don't have a strategy (not kidding):

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x7649808

[NotThisTime]

52. That's one interesting plan they have there....

[Poseidan]

19. i've got a winning strategy for them

Republicans, are you listening? Here it is...



Decrease the amount of dopamine in your brains.

[Avalux]

20. Here's the strategy:

I just posted it.....

[Lex]

22. Right now on MSNBC his stump speech is tired and old and people seem bored.

Obligatory applause. No enthusiasm.

[TexasObserver]

24. Vote Suppression, Vote Stealing, and Ballot stuffing are the GOP's only hope.

[spanone]

26. toooooo little toooooo late

[radfringe]

27. they ran out of kitchen sinks to throw

they are now throwing bathroom toilets

[budkin]

28. Their strategy is to lose... that's the only option for them.

[Virginia Dare]

31. They won't even lose gracefully either....

they'll keep up the divisiveness and the incendiary rhetoric in attempt to sour their base further on Democrats and Obama in particular.

[Arugula Latte]

32. I'd like to suggest a strategy to them: Disrobe and run around in circles, screaming.

Hey, it will be just as effective as what they've done up until this point.

[old mark]

40. Please, just the idea of that makes me ill....nt

[WinkyDink]

35. It's a BIG SLAP in the FACE to their supporters, that this "NEW" strategy has not been ON-GOING.

[JimWis]

36. Another weekly "New Strategy". How many is that now!!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

37. Agree - the worst thing we can do is assume the election is won and not vote . . .

We can rest on our laurels when this thing is over and President-elect Obama is waiting in the wings to take this country in a new direction.

Gobama!!!

[old mark]

54. YES! it's over when it's over VOTE!!! No matrter what the polls look like -

Polls don't elect the President.

[cameozalaznick]

38. They played a a new spot this morning and here's the strategy...

They're going back to the not ready/not experienced argument. But the new ad contains the word "yet." As in, he's not ready to be president, yet. The idea is to get people to think that they can have McCain now and in a few years, Obama will be ready to run again. Problem is, Michelle has already nixed that idea. She's has said in no uncertain terms, this is it. If they don't win, they're not doing this again.

And that doesn't surprise me. You'd have to go back a long time to find an example of someone who won their party's nomination, didn't go on to win the presidency and then ran again. It's just too hard to come in second. I can't think of an example in living memory.

[old mark]

39. So their big new plan to win the presidency is a three letter word...

They surely will have an even better new idea by next week....

McCain goes down in flames again.
Vote anyway!
mark

[xxqqqzme]

53. tricky dick

[coalition_unwilling]

56. Adlai Stevenson in '52 and '56 and Tricky Dick in '60 and '68 are the

two examples that come to mind.

[FVZA_Colonel]

57. Even then, it's hard to see how "experience" will suddenly start working,

after they ignored it for weeks and weeks because it failed the first time.

[symbolman]

65. I just realized that this is Insurance for Palin...

Three Little Words..YET..for when SHE runs..

It's to counter the Arguement that SHE has NO Experience.. Yet..

They can put her and Obama on the same level (LOL, he's lightyears ahead of her as we all know), and they can come back later after Mr McCExperience himself has saved the world..

Such patronizing bullshit from such a Dorknozzle..

[thoughtcrime1984]

41. I heard they both are on their knees, begging for votes. nt

[GoesTo11]

42. They don't understand the difference between a strategy and a tactic

In every way.

[FUCK_BUSH]

44. Yes and their strategy is to try hard to Steal this election.

[Beausoleil]

45. When it's this late in the game

and you're that far behind, your choices of successful strategies are severely limited.

This is why the term "Hail, Mary" was appropriated.

Figures that McCain's only choice seems to be "the bomb".

[BlueIdaho]

46. Who cares what he does at this point - lets Get Out Our Vote! nm.

[Vinca]

47. Ridiculous unless it involves a brigade of computer programmers. nt

[Bobbie Jo]

48. The newest, new and improved strategy.

:shrug:

[rvablue]

49. In these final days, WE ALL HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND

that election night will be like freakin' Christmas for these huge corporations if they continue to make us believe it is a tight race.

I wish there was someone on DU who has done media buying for an ad agency that could fill us in on how and when the networks and cable channels will fix the price for election night or if it is something that is done months/weeks in advance, and therefore my theory would be wrong.

[AuntPatsy]

51. Bullshit....they know they are done legally so are attempting to set us up for another election thef...

I hope enough people understand Obama's message today....though he is well aware that theft is possible and I have no doubt doing what he can to ensure such is not a success, he cannot do it alone, we all need to stand firm and be ready to fight for our country and they the powers now in control better be made aware of it...

"We the People are NOT going to take it Anymore", they for once need to fear us if Obama Biden are allowed to prevail in winning the war against perhaps the most corrupt government body this country has ever had the displeasure to endure...

[riqster]

55. Isn't there a Blackadder episode

...that resembles this move?

[northernlights]

59. you mean there was an old strategy?

I just thought they were running from one disastrous tactic to the next...:shrug:

[Claire Beth]

60. Ugh! They start a new stragegy every day

because none of them work and won't.


Obama/Biden 2008

[old mark]

61. Wonder what the new strategy for next week will be.... nt

[EmilyAnne]

62. He's going to rub butter all over his naked body, set his hair on fire and run in circles singing

show tunes on live television?

This guy and his whole campaign are so erratic

[WallStreetNobody]

63. There are basically just two days left in the campaign

Today and tomorrow. Not much happens in terms of the news cycle over the weekend and as far as I know none of the candidates are doing the Sunday morning shows. Monday they'll do their thing but by that point no one who is planning to vote is going to be undecided, in fact I doubt there are any true undecideds even now - the people who say they are undecided at this point are either strongly leaning one way but for whatever reason don't want to admit it or they aren't likely to vote.

At this point the only thing that matters is the GOTV operation. The two new voting groups are African-Americans who are already proving to turn out in high number, and the other is the youth vote which is the big question mark. If the 18-29 year old crowd doesn't slack off and goes to vote than we will win.
