Wednesday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

This campaign gets more bizarre by the day. McCain and his crew, led by Karl Rove acolytes, are doing everything to keep the discussion off issues. They're trying to make sure voters never want to hear the name "George Bush" uttered between now and November 4th. Somehow, Sarah Palin has become the ONLY thing anyone is discussing.

The Obama campaign needs to pivot back. Get on the offensive. It's about McCain. It's about Bush. Palin is a sideshow, not the main event.

Obama kept saying that he wouldn't be distracted. "Not this time" was the mantra. Well, it's happening this time. The GOP's only hope is distraction, vicious attacks and lies, blatant lies. I think we've seen this movie before. This time, it needs a different ending.

Thread away...
