I think Debbie Wasserman Schultz has been probably the best surrogate the last couple of weeks, she is tough and direct. Here she calls out Palins false Clinton comment and brings up Palin`s comment about Hillary whining. This is very good, I don`t think Obama should have a back and forth with Palin, but surrogates such as Schultz attacking Palin is very good.
"Sarah Palin should spare us the phony sentiment and respect. Governor Palin accused Senator Clinton of whining and John McCain laughed when a questioner referred to her by using a demeaning expletive. John McCain and Sarah Palin represent no meaningful change, just the same failed policies and same divisive, demeaning politics that has devastated the middle class," said Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz."
I think their strategy is getting better now and I think Obama has renewed energy. The media is calling lies for what they are, lies. Obama is concentrating on issues and McCain. This is important Obama needs to stay on a positive message and on issues. But, having surrogates attacking Palin, women such as Debbie Wasserman Schultz, is brilliant.
I also think more negative "personal" attacks through 527`s is a smart move, it doesn`t bring down Obamas negatives that much and it is easier to hit harder without having to answer for it.
