Karl Rove has become synonymous in the American mind with scummy, Machiavellian scheming for political gain. And McCain can't stand up to him, even after Rove orchestrated a whisper campaign against him in South Carolina in 2000, when a rumor was spread that McCain had fathered a "black baby."

Two basic ideas:

Senator McCain supports an open-ended commitment to victory in Iraq, and flirts with invading Iran. Considering enlistment rates are tragically low and our troops are strained, McCain should answer whether or not he would support a draft to sustain his militaristic ambitions.

Now that the nomination is clinched it is time to take the offensive particularly on issues of disconnect with a majority of Americans. While I am not saying to berate any dissent on issues, there needs to be a swift and strong offensive against the Bush-McCain hardliners in the media.

You and your camapign should release a detailed plan on how exactly you will meet with leaders from rogue nations such as Iran and North Korea, what general preparations you will make before these meetings, what goals you will be trying to achieve respective of the countries,the tone used, and the benefits that could be attained from these meetings.
