A Gallup poll has 52% of American believing that Obama will raise their federal taxes.
Can the campaign advertise more what he will do for taxes?
Wallet will be the most important issue for most of the swing voters.

Going after Palin has some serious backfire possibilities. Just present her as simply being unsuited for the job of President (should it come to pass) and stick McCain with the tag of using bad judgment to choose her.

I would like to see Obama concentrate on giving details about how he would improve the economy the day he takes office. What I remember most vividly from Bill Clinton's first presidential campaign is his direct, honest and detailed speeches about his tax plan and his plans to create more jobs for the working class.

There are plenty of reasons why Palin is a horrible candidate who reflects extremely poorly on McCain, but "more of the same" is simply not compelling because she is a woman from Alaska. While her positions may be conservative to a T, this has to be conveyed in a way besides the "more of the same" catch phrase.

There is Youtube video of John McCain addressing union workers. In defense of having immigrant workers, he states that there are jobs Americans won't do, and he then offers anyone in the audience $50 an hour to pick lettuce, adding that none of them would do it. If Obama puts this sound or video clip in an ad, Americans will really see how out of touch he is. $50 an hour is $100,000 a year.
