Democrats losing again
September 11th, 2008You would think that after 2004, the Democrats would have learned how to fight the Republicans. It seems that they did in 2006 when they took control of both houses of Congress. Yet somehow on the national stage they are floundering again.
When the McCain campaign was in trouble at various times during the past year, he replaced his campaign managers. Is Obama changing his campaign management? No. He needs to change his strategy so that he attacks as much or more than he defends. It also doesn’t have to be angry or nasty necessarily; humor will work just as well.
Here are some ideas to attack:
* McCain’s instability. He is well known to be short tempered. What is the effect all that time as a POW. Take a shot at his strength like the Repubs would do.
* McCain is a sell-out. He sold his soul to Karl Rovians to become president. He used to take the high road, now he lies, picks a inexperienced Christian conservative (like Bush), and lies some more.
* Mock Palin. Play the “I said thanks, but no thanks” clips over and over and over again, and maybe with other’s playing her part (like Monty Python). To show with humor how she lies.
As far as using humor goes: Watch John Stewart! Hire John Stewart.
OK that is enough for now
