IMHO, Obama needs to
find a short, hard hitting line to use. There is a shitstorm of info now blasting away at the public. People see media soundbites.

There has got to be a message to hammer home to cut through all the crap.

"92,92,92 92! John McCain and George Bush agreed 92% of the time for 8 years!

Are you better off than you were 8 years ago??? McCain and Bush lead the way down.

Then go off into specifics, but hammer that home with passion. I don't care what they accuse Obama of. Lead with that (or something like it)

Then seugue into a refutation of whatever if need be: "They are accusing me of __________________ to make you forget that 92% of the time McCain supported Bush."

I don't know if "supported" or "agreed" are the strongest words or images to use. I would like to say:

"92,92,92,92! McCain was so far up Bush's ass he saw what Bush saw 92% of the time." I don't think they would let me.:shrug:

1. How about "More of the Same"?
I just thought of that.

2. Works for me.
I'd just add one word. "More of the Same McCain!"

Don't pay attention to them. Pay attention to what the country needs and what the country wants. Provide these things and you will win.

Reacting to the actions of your opponents is a sign of weakness. If someone punches you but you don't budge, you don't counter-attack, and you show no sign of pain - as if the attack didn't happen - people will understand your strength.
