AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth —
Some of the nitwits in the political punditry seemed surprised by the ugly, nasty tenor of the McCain campaign, but Obama knew what was coming. He had the GOP's ugly strategy figured out over the summer. And, it's come to pass as Jed shows us ...
He Knew
Balloon Juice —
And while the rest of us may be surprised by the recent turn of events, Obama was not:
If running around screaming “Ayers” while the economy is imploding is not evidence of the ‘We don;t have anything to offer but he is risky” McCain campaign, I don’t know ...

Economy in Free Fall, Politics of Personal Destruction

Obama: "I can take 4 more weeks of McCain's Attacks But America Can't Take 4 More Years Of Failed McCain\Bush Look Alike Policies" "Your employees tell me you're a die-hard Republican."

The Reality-Based Community —
[image] Obama was prepared Part of the reason the current wave of slime doesn't seem to be working is that it's just too gross. Part of the reason is that the situation is just too dire.

Obama got a load of crap about the "dollar bills" remark at the time, even though McCain's video with Obama's face on the $100 had already come out. It cost him something in the polls. But that speech helped "poison the well." It's not an accident that the story this week has been less Ayers than McCain's over-the-top attacks about ...
