I usually surf and pick what I want to watch about Hardball especially since I am still working at 5 pm et. So today as I was busy I did not change the channels and here it was Chris starting a debate between Mark Green (Radio America President) and Pat Buchanan (well...NeoCOn Republican Strategist MSNBC Political Analyst).
Pat started by stating that Mc Cain had a very good day and that he knew how to win wars, etc. blah blah blah same talking points as Madden on CNN. In any case, where it gets interesting is when Pat starts comparing McCain to Eisenhower. Mr. Mathews, a history buff, probably assisted by his laptop allowed Pat to speak then went right back at him. I have to applaud him for that because most Campbell Browns, Andrea Mitchells, Joe Scarborough's would have listened in awe and moved to the next question. Instead, Mathews took him to work by explaining that Eisenhower was a President who wanted peace and not a war monger as Mc Cain who was a HAWK. Then the most interesting part was when Mark Green, first sarcastically saying even at the risk of losing a VP spot, he will advance that being a POW does not mean you have experience winning a war. He then compared Obama to Lincoln who had judgment and knew how to make the right decisions for his country.
Here is the point....I am sick and tired of these Obama Surrogates not following the right talking points. What is the campaign doing? When I look at Madden (former Romney campaign manager) That Lisa Sanchez lady Hispanic supporter of Mc Cain, and those other pundits on late night shows, they keep going back and forth to consistent Lies revolving around lines which when repeated over and over every time they open their filthy mouth, can stick, and play into the subconscious of the listeners: ie. Obama's lack of experience, Obama just starting to learn...etc.). We need better surrogates such as Mark Green who are not afraid of responding and questioning Mc Cain on his POW status and experience.
Besides a few spoofs by Fiorina, Graham and the top ones, those other second level Mc Cain surrogates are circling on Barack and working it well to the point that today the new poll revealed that Mc Cain is perceived as commander in chief by 75% while only 48% thought so for Obama.
OBAMA CAMP: IF YOU READ THIS MESSAGE
Please have a daily call with your surrogates, distribute talking points, and start going on the offensive on John Mc Cain and question his war record. When did he win the war...was it when he was destroying 5 copters? Youd spend too much time responding and defendig our candiate. As long as you are not lying this should be a good strategy. Mc Cain and his band are oftentimes caught in lies but only a few from the MSM are capable of correcting them. Meanwhile, the average American is either too tired, too confused, or too ignorant to conduct his or her own quest for the truth. It's like marketing...it's all subliminal..a word, a picture, can be worth a 1000 words...so get a word or a couple that stick to Mc Cain.
You need to attack. Why are Democrats so afraid of attacking Republicans where they have been failing for so many years. Being a POW does not qualify one for being a commander in chief. Can someone correct if I am wrong but I could not find any WAR that Mc Cain has won?
