[elixir2]

[jackson_dem]

1. Two words: John Edwards

[OzarkDem]

6. Yep

the best candidate for the job.

[lonestarnot]

9. Yes indeedie.

[Colobo]

2. We nominate Barack Obama and we beat the crap out of McCain.

We nominate Hillary and we get whooped.

[jackson_dem]

11. St. Obama of no experience versus McCain whose strength is natl security?

[Yupster]

25. I don't see McCain winning

We beat him the same way Bill beat Dole.

You constantly compliment him, and thank him for his decades of service to the country within the military and then suggest that we need to move on to the future but thank those who helped so much in the past.

Easy win.

[Bright Eyes]

3. Wait till he dies of old age....

Hey, someone had to say it. :)

[patrice]

4. John Edwards can Wonk him into a daze with the Issues and policy details. nt

[Seabiscuit]

18. So fast, McCain's head will spin. Go Edwards Go! nt

[patrice]

26. And look Friendly doing it, you bet! Edwards or Un-Committed ALL of the Way

and even after the vote . . . .

[cobalt1999]

5. We don't need to do a thing.

The republican base will stay away from him in droves.

[Olney Blue]

7. Spike his Geritol?

[patrice]

8. John Edwards can make him say "I don't know . . . " a whole lot on national TV. nt

[ben_meyers]

10. Don't vote for him. n/t

[Mojambo]

12. Same way you deal with any of them: Republicans fuck up the economy.

Vote Democratic in 2008.

[napi21]

13. YOu know what popped into my mind when I saw hin win and

that Rudy was going to drop out and endorse McCain? BOB DOLE! I don't think the American People WANT that old of a man running their Country!

[bluestateguy]

14. He has a 25 year congressional voting record

That's more than twice the time of Hillary and Obama have spent in the Senate.

Thousands of roll call votes. An opposition researcher's wet dream.

Bring up the immigration issue over and over and over again to fracture the GOP coalition, as it will remind them of amnesty John McCain.

And finally, make him Bush's heir apparent. If you like Bush, you'll love McCain. That memo must be hammered home over and over again.

[patrice]

22. We don't have to be afraid of McCain. Get him to talk about Iran. nt

[patrice]

15. Get him to tell us all about his Dreams of Un-ending War. Ask him questions about how he would

win the "War on Terror" by any means he wanted. And then ask him how we would pay for it.

[Tatiana]

16. "100 years"

in Iraq, that is....

[Josh]

17. Tie him to Bush

Show that embrace pic over and over again, and use the line "I did more than anyone else to get George Bush elected in 2004" in as many ads as you can.

[Ravy]

19. I am sure some of the 90's Senate votes will be hard to defend...

the Defense Dept was asking for cuts in a lot of programs.

They used these votes against Kerry.

It is hard to elect Senators because their votes from the past are applied to the situation today. McCain winning will be to our advantage, I think, since it will level that playing field some.

[rwheeler31]

20. If you love war Vote Mcain

[lonestarnot]

21. You might try dealing with the truth of the matter. He's a fucking pug endless war.

[patrice]

23. John Edwards can ask him questions about Trust Busting.

[MagsDem]

24. Not with Barack - no experience - Obama, that's for sure

The guy has ONE federal campaign under his belt against certified right wing nut job Alan Keyes who couldn't get elected dog catcher in Illinois. We put up Obama, we lose. Simple as that. And I don't want to hear BS stories about national polls either. National polls are meaningless, even if people didn't lie like rugs to pollsters if they think it will make them look like a bigot.

[my2sense]

27. Ensure Wesley Clark is on the ticket as VP

and push this top ten list Romney put together on McCain. He is scary.
