POLL: SHOULD OBAMA DUMP HIS STAFF AND HIRE UNKNOWNS FOR THE ELECTION?
The Dems once again by bringing in incompetent losers from several lost campaigns, have exhibited an arrogance that approaches that of the opponents, the Bushites. Looking at the problem with unbiased analysis topmost, one sees a President responsible for one million murders and hundreds of billion$ stolen from his own people. Bush’s rating stood, last time I looked at 28% but the "Democratic" Congress we have all looked forward to has frittered away their lead to a mere 19% approval rating.

Mrs. Palin may be a perfect target for criticism, but remember she has an 80% approval rating and had 60+% of the vote. Though I remain an FDR Progressive, credit must be passed on when merited, even to the worst competitors. Someone in McCain's camp made a smart move. I see the fine-evil hand of Rove in this logical choice.

Sarah Palin will appeal to a good many people. The Catholic vote, which went to Bush twice thanks to the air-headed pope** but went over to the Democratic congress in 2006, it will not go over to the Dems if she is on the ticket, mostly because of the disappointing no-show of that congress and the lack of creativity in Obama's choices of his staff since the end of the primary.

My unbiased evaluation tells me that now the Imminently beatable McCain has become a force to deal with, because of the failures of the Congress and the mistakes of the Obama campaign of late. Speeches don't win elections as Governor Adlai Stevenson discovered, votes win elections and as of this week the Dems are in deep trouble and there is only one way out and they do not have the courage to do it-fire and hire an new staff of unknowns who are brilliant and willing to take chances; fire all of the staff, all of them and hire new minds. Announce creative choices for possible cabinet members, appoint a counter to Palin, a Caucasian, Catholic, beauty, with brains in her 30's to a key position as spokesperson of some sort and give her lots of press. Say publicly he will dump the Patriot Act and The Military Commissions Act of 2006 again and again and AGAIN, a thing he has not to my memory confirmed and rescind his stupid remarks about rehiring Blackwater, those comments alone lost him countless votes; dumb, dumb and dumber, whose idea was that? Don't answer that I KNOW whose dumb idea that was.

Calling people names is not going to make stupid mistakes and their consequences disappear. The idea is too GAIN votes among non-voters and those who were on the fringe of Bush voting and maintain what voters we did have. Instead, they have lost votes among their base and watched votes they might have had outside it go away.

Who do they have chasing down the 60% of single working female voters who failed to vote in 2000? Or the 58% of same who failed to vote in 2004? I have seen not one ad going after that no-vote base, who is running the demographics, Simple Simon?

For many people on the fringe, votes we need, there is a thin line between now, the two candidates, one wants to send troops over to Afghanistan, the other to keep them where they are-big choice. The other big issue no one is speaking about is where is our military going to come from? Those now in service are making a beeline out as their terms expire and new recruits have gone south!

**(I am Catholic, and sent this pope some corrective emails, which he ignored and so I wrote unfavorably about him more than once for supporting Bush. I started writing him respectful analysis of faith when he first supported Bush when he was cardinal. I told him I believed that if elected he would declare war on Iraq and kill hundreds of thousands if not more and bomb it back into the stone Age. ) He finally heard me this year and revised by saying "if you see a greater evil than abortion, then vote your conscience..." I paraphrase but that was almost word for word my words to him.)

I believe that Obama’s Staff since the primary ended has at best looked amateurish and has been outsmarted time after time and this latest Rovean move by the McCain staff is an excellent example of mass stupidity on the part of Obama’s staff. At their present meltdown rate, they will lose heavily in November, so it is time to “throw out the old wines skins lest they burst… and put the new wine in new skins…”
Therefore:

SHOULD OBAMA FIRE HIS STAFF AND HIRE A NEW STAFF?

YES, O’ WIZARDLY ONE, BY ALL MEANS!

NO, O’ FLUTTER-BRAINED ONE, BY NO MEANS!

NEITHER, O’ NEUTRAL ONE, HE SHOULD PUNT!

YES, O’ WIZARDLY ONE, BY ALL MEANS!
NO, O’ FLUTTER-BRAINED ONE, BY NO MEANS!
NEITHER, O’ NEUTRAL ONE, HE SHOULD PUNT!
