Can't this website be a voice?

This type of website needs to continue so that the American people can have a voice in government. I know that there are others out there, but from my point of view, which is based on everything, this has been an open forum with innovative ideas and contributors with an eye itno the reality of the American people.

Metropolitan campaigning

We are no longer rural. Many of us are not urban. We are mostly metropolitan and very real. Obama will be the first metropolitan president. The GOP is stuck in rural. Stress how real the rest of us are. Though we still love cowboys and wide-open spaces.

McCain's White Flag of Surrender in Michigan

I think Sen Obama needs to hit McCain hard on his recent decision to pull all his resources out of Michigan. Let those in Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania know why Sen McCain would stop fighting in Michigan when he said he would fight for America. Ask why Sen McCain would not fight for one of the hardest hit states in regards to the economy and loss of jobs.

Obama must counter McCain's condescending refrain...

Senator Obama just does not understand...

Here's a starter list for the next debate:
Senator McCain seems to be out of touch...
Senator McCain seems to be looking backwards versus forward...
Senator McCain seems to be responding from his gut, not his grasp of the realities of the situation...
Senator McCain seems to want to recreate history versus learn from it...

Bailout

Republicans do have one good habit: they know how to issue talking points and get everyone to sing from that same choir sheet on all the talk shows on a given day. It lets their message - no matter how disgusting that message may be - get through to the people.

Runs ads blasting middle-class-hating Republicans on rescue package

AP re: the attempt to reach a compromise on the rescue package:

"Some Democrats still want a provision allowing bankruptcy judges to rewrite mortgages to help homeowners avoid foreclosure. Thune said that would be "a deal-breaker" for Republicans."

Why is Sen Obama not talking about the wasteless spending in IRAQ?

I am just wondering why Sen Obama is not talking about how when he responsibly ends the war in IRAQ that he will stop using taxpayer money (billions of dollars) to reconstruct IRAQ and use that money for tax cuts, stimulus package, health care, and education here in the US.

Stick with the "Main Street" line

I'm really liking the "Main Street" references Obama has been using in recent speeches. In fact -- sharpen the use of it. Come up with some slogans for it. Things for the crowd to chant. Obama needs to keep his message simple and clean, so it resonates with working class folk in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, etc. If we can hold PA, MI, and CO, we win the election.

Sen Biden Stick to Real Economic Message

Sen Biden. Are you crazy? You don't say it is our patriotic duty to pay taxes! Stick to the message that we will lower taxes for 95% of the American people and for the middle class to get the economy out of this crisis and that we will restore pre Bush tax rates for those making above 250K to reduce our deficit and our debt and to provide a stable economy for our future generations.

The hypocrisy

Below are a few excerpts from a letter ran in the Des Moines Register (the whole letter reads better than just these bits). To see the whole letter, go to http://www.desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080916/OPI...
I think the campaign should be using bits of this whenever applicable.

Do you speak Palinese?
