Obama campaign's brilliant rope-a-dope.....
They got Hillary (and McCain) to hammer away at the "all rhetoric no substance" thing--and now, on the national stage in his victory speech, he delivers a great, detailed platform!

15. I felt he did a bad job with Edwards but maybe his hands were tied. I dunno but I was worried
when I saw Axelrod sign up with Obama. So far though the campaign has done extremely well and he should get some credit.

2. You never give details until you must, It just gives them more time to tear them apart.

11. It gave me chills. I could imagine him standing there, in front of the entire world,
and taking the oath of President. How awesome a moment!

14. As my Paw Paw used to say...
... "give an idiot enough rope, and he'll hang himself with it." Obama has given the McClintCamps (TM) all the rope they needed to do themselves in. - Dave
