I'm not giving up, I just think the Mac campaign could have employed a better strategy. They always like to paint advertising that questions a person's character or personal choices as "negative" and that the electorate is turned off by it, but the Dems and the liberal media never seem to adress the hypocrisy of questioning Mac's age, or Palin's wardrobe or pregnant daughter or Pentecostalism. They play hardball under the guise of "journalism" to give it a sense of legitimacy. The GOP sometimes gets intimidated by the Big Media Monopolies, Hollywood Snobs and Ivy League Intellectuals. We think that if we cave in to their rhetorical "different kind of politics", they'll see us as honorable and respect us. Its a ruse.
So-called "negative advertising" works, it just has to be used wisely. You can't harp on Bill Ayers for one week and then move on to something else. When the poll numbers started to change about mid September, the ads on Wright, Ayers, Khalidi, Raines, Rezko, etc should've hit the airwaves non-stop until election day. If the American electorate hears it enough times, it will begin to resonate. You can't give it one week and then change the subject. I think the attacks on taxes should've started earlier too. It just seems like Mac and his campaign waited too late to hammer away on all of these legitimate questions about Barack.
With McCain's history of reaching across the aisle, maybe he just didn't have the stomach for it, I don't know, but its perplexing that should he lose he may end up losing the war with nuclear weapons in his arsenal.
