Seems to me that if McCain and Palin aren't going to be conducting interviews, Barack and Joe should get out there and do as many interviews as possible. Get in front of the cameras. Get their views out there. Talk to the reporters, get on Meet the Press, Larry King, Leno, etc.

Why aren't we hitting back??? Where is Barack?
Where's Obama right now? Where's Biden? On CNN's politics page, Obama's name is mentioned twice, once in a headline that talks about Giuliani mocking him, and once about he gives African-American republicans "heartburn". Nothing about Obama on the issues, nothing countering Palin's lies.

FIGHT BACK
We need to fight back and do it in a smart and focused manner. Gov. Palin's speech sounded like a juvenile and petty student council speech. The Obama campaign needs to counter her attacks and show that we will not take it lying down. That was the mistake that we made in 2004.

Man in the Mirror
I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to get singers to sing Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror" throughout the rest of Obama's campaign. The words speak to the heart of Obama's change campaign.

Hammer home a message
I watch the two campaigns everyday, and the ONLY place the McCain campaign is beating us in is message discipline. We need to make sure every surrogate that goes on the air hammers one point over and over. It doesn't need to be the only thing they say a la right-wing radio hosts, but it should be mentioned every time a specific issue comes up.

Tap into the emotion that projects the CHANGE Sen. Obama represents!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZZ3aNWaEw4: This is a small but vivid example of the change what we all want. Obviously, we can't expect this extreme level of unity on a sustained basis. Nor can we ignore the sensitivity of this matter. However, there is a fundamentally powerful seed of realistic possibility captured within that moment.

Congressional Unity on 9/12/2001: A glimpse of CHANGE.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZZ3aNWaEw4: This is a small but vivid example of the change what we all want. Obviously, we can't expect this extreme level of unity on a sustained basis. However, there is a fundamentally powerful seed of realistic possibility captured within that moment. Remember, there was nothing planned or self-serving or petty about this.
