Biden needs to call out McCain on how cheated on his wife
We need to counter punch now and hard. This swift boat crap works otherwise.

1. Biden's not going to do that.
That would just put him on mccrap's level.

9. Bill is a Democrat
won't matter if he is on the ticket. It will just give the repukes another excuse to talk about how "immoral" the Dems are if this is brought up about McCain

3. The personal stuff should be left to the surrogates and the 527s.
The candidates themselves need to stick to the issues. But I'd like to see somebody mention what a sleazy fuck he is.

8. stupid fucking thing to do. glad you're not an advisor to Joe.
The Obama team knows exactly what they're doing. If anyone should attack McCain personally, it should be a dem 527.

10. I have to say I disagree some what, I would
point out where they are wrong and why they are attacking(desperation and tie it into the "lying" narrative we have going and that is working),. America is bleeding now much more than in 2004,economically, and I think we need to recognize that and point out that ANY SECOND not spent addressing the bleeding wound is tacitly admitting that it is not important. We should fight against the very nature of these attacks, as getting in the way of getting things done in washington.

The question we should put forth to the american people is WHY are they talking about 40 years ago . We need to "counter-punch" on things that directly affect people lives. To say that the very fact that they AREN'T discussing this is a callous dismissal and disregard of your everyday circumstance. That's the wave that got Obama to the point he is now IMO and that's what I think will bring him home. We're in the drivers seat now, we don't march to their tune any more, they march to OUR tune, and they talk about the things WE want to talk about, what america wants to talk about now, call me naive, but the situation we are in now is one of those rare 9-11, 1930 depression times when people are less worried about who is sleeping with whom, then "how am I going to be able to sleep at night" (with the prospect of losing my home and job) and personally that's how I think it should be framed.

13. Biden needs to link McCain with Bush, loud, hard, and continuously.
This cheating stuff means nothing.

Go for the stuff that'll win the election.

19. Biden would never ever do that. He has too much class.
He will continue to attack him using George Bush, however. Biden's attacks in the VP debate were seen as extremely effective by alot of pundits...I think that is the way to go. I also think the media realizes this time how ridiculous this all is. Bill Schneider on CNN last night said there was no truth to Phalin's lies.

22. I believe in the freedom to pursue happiness.
I am pro-choice when it comes to letting someone decide if they are going to stay faithful to their spouse for the rest of their life.

Let's not look down on people because their first marriage did not work out. Ronald Reagan and John Kerry were both on their second marriages when they ran for President. In both cases, it was irrelevant to their candidacy.
