Tell DFA to STOP running the "dead McCain" and "unstable McCain" ads!!

I was stunned to see the new ad from DFA, and even more saddened/sickened/shocked to see the follow up email touting the success of the "swift-boat-esque" ad featuring other POW's. Democracy for America - WHAT IS HAPPENING? Are we seriously sending out emails rallying voters by saying the McCain camp is calling US "swiftboaters"?

Our lead is lost and we are behind. WE MUST HIT HARD

This campaign is now officially a disaster. Shockingly, it is following the Gore-Kerry-Dukakis strategy of letting them tear us apart, and not responding. WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? WHEN WILL THE DEMOCRATS LEARN? YOU HIT BACK HARD, OR YOU LOSE!!!! It's that simple!!! We are actually getting swift-boated AGAIN!!!!! AGAIN!!!! Is it possible that we could be that stupid?

WHY HAVE WE HEARD SO LITTLE FROM OBAMA RECENTLY IN THE NEWS

AND HAVE ONLY HEARD FROM MCCAIN AND OTHER OBAMA-ATTACKING REPUBLICANS? OBAMA NEEDS TO MAKE HIS VOICE HEARD AND SET FACTS STRAIGHT AND PUT TO END ANY QUESTION THAT HE MIGHT NOT WIN

ANYONE ELSE FRUSTRATED WITH THIS???

Back off of McCain = Bush for a while

People have heard it enough. They've gotten it, and they may even be sick of it. Obama can bring it back up for a push as the election gets closer, but this type of smear tactic is what people are tired of. Instead, Obama should go positive, start giving in-depth details about his plans and why they will work.

Time To Take The Fight To Them

Fight the republican hate machine! They are organized and have fought dirty for years, and it is time not to give it back. This is not sinking to their level, but it is winning the ultimate prize, the White House, the country, at all costs. We must be prepared to get dirty.

Strike at Mccain!

I believe either obama himself or Biden have to attack Mccain.
Psychologically, the opinion of people vastly shift when negative points are brought forth.
Although Obama is not into NEGATIVE campaigning, I think its important for somebody, Biden, or someone else in the DNC to expose Mccain and hit mass people.

Negative Campaigning and how it reflects on Obama

Not too long ago, McCain ran an advertisement that made any man, women, or child with half a brain snicker at its transparency and lack of logic. The ad compared Obama to Paris Hilton, attempting to make some sort of connection between the two.

FIREBACK IN TV

TV Ads are one of the strongest hits that many politicians around the globe have had for success or loss.
Latest clear examples of how the polls have changed with negative ads are in Mexico and France.
Fight back the last month or at least 3 weeks before voting.
If Obama was attacked he has the right to deffend himself using the same strategy.

Ad Suggestion: Smoke and Mirrors

There is a pyscological theory that "If you spot it, you got it"... so if you spot a flaw in another, it is like holding up a mirror... McCain calls Obama elitist... yet McCain wares the $500 shoes, 10 homes, private jet etc... I see an ad that bounces this back to show that McCain is really talking about himself and the bad qualities. Take care with the ad words...

Stay on target...stay on target....stay on target!

Sen. Obama must stay on his target message of "no politics as usual". Despite the attacks on his campaign by the Old Guard, he cannot be dragged down to their level. The ad about McCain's celebrity was not a good idea. It just seemed as if he was being dragged into the "tit for tat" politics of old.
