Surprise: Negative ad that hits Obama on Fannie and Freddie proves highly effective posted at 2:10 pm on October 15, 2008 by Allahpundit Send to a Friend | printer-friendly How long has the righty blogosphere been screaming at the RNC to go nuclear on this? No ad we’ve posted this year got as much grassroots buzz as that “What Just Happened?” dynamo that leveled the Dems on this same subject. Why McCain’s made Ayers the centerpiece of the attacks instead, I’ll never know, especially with Democratic voters reacting almost as well to this spot as Republicans did. Presumably, Team Maverick’s own focus groups are populated with nuts like ...
Negative ad that hits Obama on Fannie and Freddie proves highly effective
Hyscience —
AllahPundit is raving about these ads and says this is what McCain has needed all along - to finally go nuclear. After watching them you'll agree!: How long has the righty blogosphere been screaming at the RNC to go nuclear on this? No ad we've posted this year got as much grassroots buzz as that "What Just Happened?" dynamo that leveled the Dems on this same subject. Why McCain's made Ayers the centerpiece of the attacks instead, I'll never know, especially with Democratic voters reacting almost as well to this spot as Republicans did.

Ad Hitting Obama On Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Most Effective So Far This Year
Say Anything —
And not just effective among Republicans, but effective among Democrats as well.
More of this please, Senator McCain.
I think that tying Obama to Ayers and Wright are worthy tactics (not to mention information the public needs to know), but if McCain wants to win this election he needs to turn the table on Obama on the economy. And that means pointing out just how horribly wrong The One has been on the economy. That means pointing out his myriad of connections to Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac.
That means pointing out his lack of leadership on the issue. ...

Insurrection!: If McCain Won't Do It, We Will
Ace of Spades HQ —
Insurrection!: If McCain Won't Do It, We Will I've been told to stop grousing about McCain's suicidal refusal to fight back on the main issue this election -- It's the economy, stupid! -- and do something constructive. Well. That's not half bad advice. So here's a constructive post. The insurrection has three elements: 1) Donate to 527s hitting this issue with TV ads in swing states. 2) Inform the RNC you want them to begin hitting this issue nonstop themselves, even at the expense of pro-McCain ads, and even against his wishes. I've got news for you: At this point, due to McCain's arrogant and stupid stubbornness, we face a very real chance of losing 50 House ...
Ace’s Proposed Insurrection
Patterico's Pontifications —
The media is not going to do anything to help John McCain, ladies and gentlemen. The media will give us stories like this:
[T]he 90-minute debate was a perfect distillation of McCain’s general election campaign, with all of its inconsistent messages.
He spoke passionately about education and free trade and put Obama on the policy defensive more than in previous debates, but he also spent precious minutes bickering over a domestic radical [note well" "radical" and not "terrorist" -- P] from the 1960s. He spoke of his desire to reach peaceably across the aisle, while at times exuding what seemed a barely controlled ...
