How cool would it be if Obama's speech had the following in it:
"I would like to wish John McCain a happy
72nd birthday tomorrow."
Obama should say it with sincerity. It will look magnanimous..... but it will highlight in the minds of the millions that are watching:
"That McCain guy is fucking
old."
If the GOP squaks about Obama playing the "age card", they'll look silly.
"How DARE he wish our candidate a happy birthday! When will the 'politics of personal destruction' end?"
heehee.

On a related note.... a great column by Bob Beckel:
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/06/the_democrats_reagan.html"Question: Name the presidential candidate described below.
An unpopular incumbent president sits in the Oval Office. His party's brand is badly tarnished. The economy is in shambles, unemployment on the rise. The housing market is in crisis. Gasoline has become a major issue.
America is enmeshed in a protracted crisis in the Middle East with no end in sight. We are near war footing with Iran. The reputation of the United States is diminished world wide. In historically high numbers, voters believe the country is on the wrong track.
The opposition party has nominated a charismatic candidate for president whose oratorical skills are compared to JFK, perhaps better. He had been introduced to the majority of Americans by way of a spellbinding keynote speech at a previous national party convention.
He has a fervent core of supporters and has emerged as the leader of his party through an insurgency that challenged and ultimately defeated his party's establishment. He runs against Washington and the special interests that control the Capitol. His message is change and hope.
If ever the public demanded change in Washington, it is in this presidential year. It could not be a better political environment for the party out of power.
Yet with all the stars aligned perfectly for a party change in the White House, national polls show the opposition candidate barely ties, and often trails, his opponent.
There is little doubt about the voter's desire for change, but there is plenty of doubt about this candidate who pledges to deliver it. Who is the candidate?
Answer; A) Barack Obama B) Ronald Reagan C) Both
The correct answer is C."
