Jed - just a thought: would it be feasible to add a line in your SarahSixPack clock for the number of "Puff Pieces" she does.
Calling the CharlieSukkup thing an "interview" is kind of a stretch. I'd hate to see you even dignify it with a "1" by that word "interview"....

How about a line that has "Oprah Puff Pieces: 1" or "National Enquirer Pieces: 1"
Real Interviews: 0
Photo Ops: Too numerous to count
Press Conferences: 0

Love this ad. Especially the Big Bad Texas John Cronyn music.

The democrats need to fight back harder, if they dig deeply they will find stuff as to why McPalin doesn't want to talk to the media b'cos of the can of worms that might be opened, found this on this site http://www.laprogressive.co...

As a long-time Alaska state employee, I know that much of what Anne says about Palin is true, and I find the rest credible. I would add that salaries for rank and file state employees in Alaska are so low that many workers rely on 2nd jobs and/or federally funded assistance (food stamps, Medicaid, public housing) to support their families. My friend quit the state after 14 years and went to work for WalMart because they pay her better and treat her better. Staff morale is disintegrating. Many state jobs go unfilled for months or years because of poor pay. Some retirees are hired back into their old positions because the state cannot attract qualified younger candidates. But this spring, despite huge state surpluses due to rising oil prices, Palin opposed efforts to bring state salaries in line with cost of living increases

If only the MSM will be bold enough to do their work

Finally. I've been waiting for the day that the campaign started using the L word and applying it to McCain and his Republican allies. "Misleading", "Making stuff up", "not being truthful", "Misrepresenting" don't have the same effect that calling somebody a LIAR does. Now, if all the Obama surrogates can just start calling McCain/Palin liars and making it stick in the media....

Actually this is not a game! This is an election where FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION for the Democrats!

The Obama campaign needs to roll out ads daily if required. Game on!

Yea! What's up with that? Can they slander & lie with absolute immunity?? Why? (except that its politics as usual...)

Oh snap. Obama just called Palin a "moose shooter." Too funny.

Uh, Jed, I don't know if you've seen the latest in Bury Brigade antics. They're reporting on Digg that "some" of the users complained that an article featuring Palin's "first gaffe" is inaccurate. The message is posted at the top of the page in red letters. Yet, when you click the link, there's a video right there of her saying that Fannie and Freddie were a burden on taxpayers. Well, they will be NOW, but that's besides the point.

In my view, Digg is now apart of the covert cabal attempting to undermine us all.

That warning wasn't there when I sent it out to people this morning. I only found out about it by someone I sent the link to telling me that the story may have been fake.

Yeah, Sean, I caught the good news earlier. Rest assured they won't stop trying but its great news so far.

eclecticbrotha said earlier today that he thinks Obama needs to do BIG RALLIES everywhere he goes once again. I agree completely. Hillary and McCain mocked him previously about his big events only because they were jealous that they couldn't draw a big audience themselves. (In New Hampshire, Hillary had to haul in supporters from NY to fill High School gyms, even.) Now McCain is drawing bigger crowds who come to see Sarah, showing off his own "celebrity" ego.. Obama needs to show them how (effortlessly) it's really done. Besides, he draws energy from big crowds and the media can't resist but cover his big events in their entirety.

If anyone from the Obama camp reads this - do it. Do HUGE events everywhere you go until election day.

Hillary's taking her shots at the GOP right now in Florida. CNN.com is carrying it live.

Well, it just ended but I must say the blue pant suited lady gave me chills. She did a great job.

I just switched to the other feed of Barack in Farmington Hills, MI. Sounds like there's a little more boom in his voice today.

Great ad. Keep em coming. I want a new one - like this and even more aggressive - every day.

Jed, Joan Walsh is a Clintonista praying Obama loses so she can yell "I told you so!" at the top of her lungs.

By the way, am I the only only who senses this is gonna be a kickass day for the Obama campaign? The surrogates are all on the coordinated attack. Obama is on fire in his Flint appearance then flattens McCain with the "No Maverick" ad. In less than 2 hours we get the double barrel barrage of Keith O. and Rachel.

I'm feeling much more energized than I was this weekend.

Re: New Obama Ad: "No Maverick"

Sean — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 18:15:17 -0000

Agreed, great ad and they do need to make sure they say for it until she had to pay for it. I think this is the main thing Obama needs to do. Instead of attacking palin directly, he needs to group McCain and Palin together and attack the Maverick and Change message they are trying to spew.

Re: New Obama Ad: "No Maverick"

ezpz — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 18:14:53 -0000

I agree, Jed.
And I think she's the only non Republican?
I'm not even sure about that. I just assumed so because she's from Salon.

Okay, now that Rachel has her own show and is not on David's Race for the WH, I can put RFTWH on the "do not watch" list.

Doggie and I are off for a walk.

They just need to keep rolling out ads like this one-after-another. Well done, and hopefully effective.
