I think Obama needs some attention right now. The media is not his friend and they are focusing in on their new darling, Vlad the ImPalin. I think Obama has to something to grab attention. My suggestion...... Colin Powell! Obama used endorsements very effectively to change the narrative during the primaries when he needed a little umph. I think he should do it now too.
I know, not everyone likes him. I'm still pissed about the "case" he mde for the Iraq war and the United Nations. However, he would be an attention getter and Obama needs attention RIGHT NOW! An endorsement from Powell will get it and so will a few campaign stops between now and the first debate. I think a Republicans for Obama mini campaign tour would be great. Powell and Susan Eisenhower in states where Powell is still very popular. Lot's of people still respect and trust Colin Powell and I think his endorsement will be a net positive for Obama. Obama has got to grab the spotlight back, in a positive way and I can't think of anything else. It seems like we are waiting for Palin to make a gaff that the MSM will pounce on, but even if she does they won't.
What do you think?
UPDATE: This guy agrees with me
