I don't want to make anyone out there jealous, but I get emails from Barack Obama. They come addressed right to me and include my first name in the byline. Sometimes he tells me about his talking points, sometimes his need for money (apparently my $25 helps a LOT). Today, he told me about the low road that Sen. McCain is taking in an attempt to attack Obama's character and credentials. McCrazy's campaign is comparing the democratic candidate to such publicity hogs as Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. I don't remember seeing any gratuitous underwear photos of the Illinois senator, but I could have missed that US Weekly. As outrageous McStretching-the-truth's claim may be it made me, above all else, hopeful. I think that the GOP nominee is acting McDesperate.
This ploy, in conjunction with conservative talk radio's obsession with the Ludacris song that supports Obama while dissing his republican counterparts, indicate a derth of substance. The House the Rove Built is shuddering with a lack of 5 word sayings that stick and 'define' the Democratic party and it's Prince during this election cycle. The largest substantive complaint that McCain voices in the offensive commercial refers to Obama's refusal to support off-shore drilling. For a candidate who needs to win Florida in November, without the privilege of a governor who happens to be his brother and a Secretary of State who happens to be in his pocket, support of offshore drilling is not the key to the state's 27 electoral votes.
I have no doubt that the GOP will get their act together and come up with a cohesive, definitive attack on Obama and democrats in general; such political theater is their forte, after all. But the longer they spend wasting their time, the longer that the donkey's have to make up for the time lost during the elongated primary battle during which McRove enjoyed a national Getting to Know You tour.
In the least, Ludacris is gaining a lot of play time with his new found 'family-values' friends.
