Don't Think of a Maverick! Could the Obama Campaign Be Improved?


I just finished watching MSNBC's morning coverage and have finally clued into the fact they are anything but a pro-Progressive network. Silly me. They just seem less evil than Fox on comparison.

But this isn't about my slow reflexes, it's a response to Mr. Lakoff, whom I greatly admire:

Mr. L., Obama needs to do more than Frame the proposals the republicans are presenting as 'what they'll do to fix things.' He needs a way to identify - quickly and unambiguously - the fact that the Republicans don't care when their messages contain lies about the Democratic candidates. and that when their lips are moving, lies are being told. Consistently.

Until and unless we can get this truth out - on the evening news by the candidates, coordinated with spokespeople distributing evidence supporting it - we won't be able to shut these people up.

Someone's got to give the American people an 'Aha!' moment, in the next two weeks, or we'll be waiting another eight years for the next chance to do so.
