Alternative End Game Strategies

Yesterday, exactly one week before voting day, both the McCain and Obama campaigns released stump speeches to RealClearPolitics.com. These first hand accounts demonstrate the staggering differences that each side is taking to the final moments before the election.
Obama’s speech was riddled with anaphora, emphasizing the importance of the idea of voting. He knows that if [...]

He’s Hip. He’s With It.

He’s Barack Obama. Sending his veep choice straight out to all the young people via text message sometime within the next week. Gimmicky? Sure. A bad idea? Not in the slightest.

Honestly, can you think of a better way to appeal to the young vote? It’s not just pandering, it’s entirely legitimate. He’s taking advantage of [...]

Dead Heat in the Polls

Obama and McCain have been running almost neck and neck for some time now – Obama still managing to hold a small lead in the polls. It’s a situation where the Democratic candidate ought to be triumphing valiantly over the tarnished Republican brand. And yet Obama is not. Many people are attempting to analyze and [...]

A Stretch for Playing the Race Card

Throughout Obama’s campaign, the issue of race has come up multiple times on both the sides of Obama supporters and the McCain supporters. But it’s when racism is imagined and an earnest statement is twisted to appear insensitive that racism in this election truly becomes a terrible thing.
For example, McCain’s new ad portraying Obama as [...]

Dr. NObama

McCain’s newest video ad likens Obama to the evil James Bond villain Doctor No. Surprisingly enough, this advertisement appears to trumpet the economic ignorance McCain has been displaying lately: from the gas tax holiday to the issues with offshore drilling. Shown below is the video itself. You may need to actually click on this post [...]

McCain’s “Service To America” Tour

McCain is going cross-country from Maryland (Annapolis, of course) to Arizona bringing his message to the American people and letting the voters get to know him. Here’s his ad:

This time around, McCain includes his time as a P.O.W., which he hasn’t done in previous elections.
Could be a good time to grab the spotlight. It’s [...]

It’s 3 a.m. Again

The Clinton campaign just released another 3 a.m. call ad. This one is about the ecomony and targets McCain. Why can’t they call before 9? Who calls at 3 a.m. about the economy?

Mark Penn, Clinton’s chief strategist, said on a conference call this afternoon announcing the ad that it “raises real and substantive issues [...]

The Most Dangerous Attacks on Obama:

Those that imply he is some kind of dis-patriot. Jeremiah Wright’s controversial message – “God Damn America” could hardly have come at a worse time in the election. Even more interesting, it appears longer-lasting than most fad issues or attack ads that we hear about in the media. The effects of this are momentous. [...]

Can Conservative Activists Start Attacking Now?

The anti-Clinton movie we described here has become the central issue in a court case. Conservative activists want to run ads for the movie during the primary campaign season.
Citizens United is challenging the nation’s campaign finance laws, which require disclaimers on political advertisements and restrict when they can be broadcast. The group argues that [...]

It is about to get nasty….

As we expected, others with a long memory made the Muskie comparison. Check out Dick Morris on Hillary’s tears.

Morris also suggests the onset of negative campaigning against Obama.
The negative researchers and detectives who staff the Clinton campaign – we call them the secret police – now go into overdrive combing through the Illinois senator’s [...]
