OK, so it's obviously gonna get down & dirty from here on out.

The Smearboat will sail again, all the right-wing filth generators will crank up to full production, McCain will unleash his nastiest subpersonality, the ghosts of Rezko, Ayers, and Wright will be walking the palisades.

Project for me. How much effect will the all-sleaze, all-the-time bombardment have?

And, how is Obama gonna defuze it? WWLD? (What Would Lakoff Do?)

1. Keating boat him.

2. I totally agree with you. They'll go full-on negative cuz it's all they have left.

We can only hope Team Obama fights back. They've run a smart campaign so far, I'm sure they know what's coming....

3. a little late. one month left. if Obama continues to defend

and parrie the way he has, it won't matter what sleaze they have.

Although it wouldn't hurt to have a bunch of dirt on both McCain AND Palin they hold in the wings with a threat to McCain that it's coming out in a BIG WAY if he does that.

4. McCain will claim he has no control over the independent ads, of course.

But yes, at every step so far, the Obama people have far exceeded my expectations. They are brilliant, they are beautiful.
