Obama's best strategy? Attack

OBAMA NEEDS TO ATTACK MCCAIN!

THIS IS FROM LATIMES.COM

Obama has barely hit back. His weak-tea replies express
"disappointment" with McCain and reject the "same old
politics.


"Here's the likely rationale: The public, by a wide margin, wants a Democrat to win the presidency. So all Obama has to do is make himself acceptable and he'll win. Hence the focus on building up his own credentials rather than tearing down McCain.

Perhaps that sounds familiar. Let me refresh your memory: it was the John Kerry campaign strategy in 2004. Four years ago, the conventional wisdom had it that a majority of the voters would reject President Bush, so winning was just a matter of Kerry proving himself as an alternative. People "are looking for some change," one pollster put it at the time, "but the change has to be acceptable. John Kerry has to prove he is acceptable."
