Did Norah O'Donnell really just say that the point is to exploit your opponent's weakness?

I think it's better to attack their strengths (McCain's military misjudgments, for example).

They're already soft in their weak spots.

Politics is not literally a contact sport, Norah.

1. Oh, Norah. Part of that "ATTACK TO SHOW YOUR MACHISMO" crowd. Time to grow up, Norah.

2. I was wrong... it was Norah...

:blush:

3. Correction made. Thanks.

I missed it on tv.





(And two Heinkein's and two Southern Comforts and Cokes later, it is a wonder that I could spell anything correctly!!!)

6. I can't stand Candy Crowley....she shouldn't be covering Obama

campaign. She is terrible. It would be nice if someone from the Obama campaign can whisper someone's ear over at CNN and get her replaced before crunch time.

5. Actually it is a contact sport

8. Not in the sense that you should keep hammering where a political opponent is already weak...

IMO it's far more effective to attack their strengths, since that's what they use to get votes.

7. now she says McCain was strong on tone and temperament

she's a joke. McCain was a raving lunatic - when he wasn't thrilling like soggy bran.

9. She's gotta be kidding... he was stammering and repeating himself...

I don't mean just revisiting the same point I mean he seemed to restate the same sentence within moments at least twice.

It was very odd.
