Obama should start something akin to FDR's fireside chats. Perhaps he could post videos on youtube of him talking to the American people, or use the radio the same way that FDR did, although the radio is a little outdated. But with the radio he might be able to better reach the older generation who are not all that youtube savvy.

Make sure to tie an tie again Mc Cain / Palin with the their party. Different candidate but same exact policies.

Hillary Clinton has said time and again that she will do anything it takes to elect Obama. One thing she can do is head off the obvious pandering by the McCain camp and publicly oppose Palin. This has to be purely an issue based statement. She needs to make it very clear to all her 18 million supporters that the only thing that she and Palin have in common is their gender.

The McCain campaign will do anything to take attention away from McCain. We've seen it in their negative ads and now in their choice for VP. Don't let them get away with it. Don't stoop to running a campaign against Palin...she's not running for president. The VP pick has never made a significant impact on a campaign for more than a week or so. Don't let this be any different.

Talk about one REAL issue in the campaign and how you would deal with it as President. You can familiarize people with your policies and give some details. It should be shot "close up" and be like an intimate chat with Obama. You could reach out to specific demographics with certain issues. The press will eat it up and wait for it every week.
