McCain isn't getting any traction with his attacks on Obama if the Cnn ticker is a guide. If I'm a McCain adviser I'm screaming at him to lay off the attacks. Unfortunately you can't call time-out during the debate. I wish the candidates could get more specific about positive things. I feel like the only times they're getting specific are when they attack each other over overhead projectors or number of votes for some evil bill. Why are specifics and facts so effective for attacks but generalizations so much better for policy?

Liked what you read? I am available for hire.
