Reply #7: No, Obama campaign is not a genius. They had to be pushed to go on attack against McBush

[Larkspur]

Obama had to put aside the professor and take up the prize figher mantle. Nice guys finish last in American politics, no matter how many people decry negative attack ads.

After the Obama campaign went on the attack against McBush and got some good ones out there, they halted the pro-McCain/Palin tide. And the media calling McCain out on their lies and the current financialy crisis has helped turn the tide in Obama's favor. If Obama had not pushed backed, he would have dug himself a deep hole that he most likely would not gotten out of by election day.
