Comments on: An Election Over John McCain’s Character http://liberalvaluesblog.com/?p=4348 Defending Liberty and Enlightened Thought Wed, 10 Feb 2010 00:02:49 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Ron Chusid http://liberalvaluesblog.com/?p=4348&cpage=1#comment-205933 Ron Chusid Wed, 10 Sep 2008 23:48:40 +0000 http://liberalvaluesblog.com/?p=4348#comment-205933 Make McCain's character the main issue, but it is not necessary to forget Palin. (Besides, most of the criticism of Palin will continue to come from sources outside the actual campaign). One of McCain's character flaws was in putting his campaign before country in the choice of Sarah Palin. We cannot make this case against McCain without also making the case against Palin. Plus we need to look beyond this election. WIn or lose, Palin could become a Republican leader who would both take the party in an even worse direction and who could be their candidate in 2012.

Obama: focus RIGHT NOW on how low McCain's gone with a full-blown, all-in gamble.  Put together an ad that focuses only on this point, using McCain's own ads to condemn him.  Put it out on every TV and radio station you can possibly get it on.  It would have a huge impact.
