Subject: RE: BS: Lipstick on a Pig
You hit it just right, Stringz...
The media is indeed fascinated by Sir John and Ms. Sarah... Sir John's entire campaign is centered around using the media... He has no other choice since he has less money than Obama so he'll buy one ad accusing Obama of this or that, the media will pick up on that ad and allow it's contents to grow into a day's worth of news cycle...
The problem here is that Obama really doesn't have any way to combat the McCain Smlime Machine without stooping to McCain's tactics and then McCain win's the ***BIG LIE*** PR campaign that "both campaigns" are playing dirty pool...
I called the Washington Post on this a couple weeks ago and they actually acknowledged recieving my letter... That was a good thing but it hasn't stopped the McCain strategy...
As for waht Amos was talking about, Ake... I understand what he is/was saying in that the McCain camp would love nothing more than reduce this campaign to race... They have done alot allready to do just that... They have run ads intended to play on people;s fears and they have tried to make people who support Obama think they are supporting him solely because he is black... I will give credit to them because they have kept things close in an election where they have absolutely nothing else to run on other than slime, race and fear...
