Reply #114: It's amazing to hear you say you can't think of much they've been doing.

In the time it takes most Dem campaigns I've seen to release just one ad, the Obama campaign figured out how they were going to deal with McCain's selection of Palin, and then went into action. Every single day in the last two weeks, or just about, they've released a NEW powerful ad; every single day, I've seen a video of either Biden or Obama speaking at crowded rallies in swing states with new speeches designed to crush McCain; Obama campaign surrogates fanned out across the media and successfully drove home the message that:

McCain's ads are filled with lies
McCain's ads make perverse suggestions
McCain doesn't know anything about economics
McCain doesn't know anything about the middle class
McCain voted with Bush 90% of the time

The Obama campaign message on McCain has been so successful in these last two weeks that for the first time in my life, I'm actually seeing the MSM beat up on the GOP opponent using the Democrat's words, rather than the usual way around.

Sounds like a bit of "much" to me.
