Reply #8: I'm no strategist but I disagree, at least for this election cycle [View All]

I think we have all the issues on our side: an unpopular war, an unpopular president, an economy in the toilet, climate change issues. Unlike some elections, where the issues were of minor interest, in this one they are important to most people, and we can win on the issues. You have to respond to the dirt, and point out the hypocrism, but we don't have to go on the attack on personal issues. I for one don't want to see sly emails about McCain's "black baby" or his "prison camp betrayals." We have enough ammunition in his policies to win against him.
