or indignancy over John Lewis/obama's crowd has nuts too/can't control the random nut in my crowd/:
"Let me just say John, that if I ever hear any audience member in my rallies threaten you, or your family, I'm all over those guys, all over secret service, making sure they are dealt with. I got your back man; and I would hope that you have mine."
what Obama should say if McCain brings up ayres/
Obama NEEDS to personally respond to Bill Ayer's issue....NOW
Barack Obama needs to either release a TV ad where he directly talks about Bill Ayers or address the issue at a news conference or in a speech.

How about an add showing McCain, Palin and advisers all fire and brimstone saying "disrespectful", "disgusting", "insensitive", "sexist" "a school of pirhana's" etc. (from their accusations of everyone else) for about and 30 seconds... and then the voiceover person says "yep, they sure are" or "more of the same disgusting politics" etc...

We saw last week at the RNC how easily the Republicans can tell blatant untruths about their records and get away with it.

Hey Obama camp--you in there? *knock knock* Love you guys, but why is it that I'm watching the cable news networks the morning after Palin's speech and there are NO strong surrogates out there hitting back for you and NO strong response from your camp?! WTH?

The Republican Party has split its time this week between snidely belittling Barack Obama and hiding behind John McCain's war record. Which is not surprising for a party that has nothing to offer the American people but failed policy and broken promises.

Despite Governor Palin's speech at the RNC tonight the campaign and the party need to shrug it off. By hitting back you let them dictate the message and you make it about what they did to provoke your reaction.
