I BEG YOU Obama - Bring up McCain's TEMPERAMENT, make new Daisy Ad

Of all the surrogates on TV Barbara Boxer and James Carville were the only ones that helped Obama. Gibbs and Kaine were o.k.

However, we know the media is really itching to go after McCain's temperament. When Barbara Boxer brought it up, Blitzer really wanted to follow up on it.

Obama needs to go on the offensive and I think this is an issue that won't necessarily win the election but it could knock McCain off message for a while.

Obama needs to focus more on winning news cycles.

Mccain has many quotes about "more wars", 100 years in Iraq. Even Buchanan says McCain means war with Iran

use this quote from Thad Cochran

http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2008/01/27/famed_mccain_temper_is_tamed/

Cochran said his choice was prompted partly by his fear of how McCain might behave in the Oval Office. "The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine," Cochran said about McCain by phone. "He is erratic. He is hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me." McCain's run-ins with other Republican senators are legendary. Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa said in an interview that he was so upset by a McCain tirade that he didn't speak to him for two years. Grassley, who said he will make no endorsement, nonetheless says McCain is the most qualified among the five GOP candidates to be president.

not happening (none / 0)

I want such an ad, hell there are host of character ads he can do but will not happen. We are in a defensive mode, we have been defined and locked in a box by the Republican spinmeisters. It is sad and depressing.

Check out this similiar diary over at Kos. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/9/7/1 55519/8532/694/590185 It just got put up so I would say you're not alone on this one. It's a very good point and I agree it's a great way to get the shots in. That being said, the McCain/Bush narrative has really caught on and it's better to keep on hammering with that one. Both of their speeches got huge ratings which makes it certaing their first debate will be epic. That's when his Bush/McCain angle will pay dividends, since it's actually true. I'd love to see McCain get all flustered and lose his temper when he can't talk his way out of his 90% voting record with W.

Welcome to a landslide WITH white working class, latinos, women and holding on sweeties!!!
