I had a feeling that momentum was going to reverse as soon as the Lehman Bros. mess started to unravel this weekend. McCain has not linked Obama/dem congress to Fannie Mae/Freddy Mac and he continues to play the financial situation on defense. I fear that waiting until the debates to try and regain momentum is a big mistake...
McCain missed several points of attack and now he ended up on defense.
Instead of talking about the economy right now.. Obama should be on defense about the Iraq story.
McCain should have FORCED Obama to make a statement and explanation about the Iraq thing.
Just like he did with the lipstick on a pig comment.
“...I fear that waiting until the debates to try and regain momentum is a big mistake...”
Indeed. Too many people will have irrevocably made up their minds if these issues continue to go uncontested prior to the debates.
John McCain just linked Obama very explosively to Fannie Mae
in Iowa’s State Fair...it was a very devestating indictment
that Obama uses the former Fannie Mae director as part of his economic team! McCain also suggested bluntly that Bush should fire the SEC chairman!
