Why try for knock out punches in early August? Obamy is not even the nominee yet. Hillary will be heard from before or at the convention, let her do her best to beat him and she will try.

Save the heavy stuff for October for the rat nominee whoever it is.

I am sure not waiting for McCain and co, some may have already read this, but I’m hoping other come up with observations that support Obama’s lack of intellegence,

There are a few reasons why to suspect Obama has Attention Deificit, the criteria for ADHD symptoms from;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention-deficit_hyperactivity_disorder

.
1. Often forgetful in daily activities.

Example: Obama says he doesn’t pay much attention to McCains campaign adds, yet he knows what isn’t in them,

.
2. Often has trouble keeping attention on tasks or play activities.

Example: Joe Bidens observations;

Biden wasn’t always defending Obama...

http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/07/17/1204594.aspx

On Aug. 1, 2007, when Obama unveiled his counterterrorism agenda, the Biden camp fired off a snarky email congratulating him for his “Johnny-come-lately position” on Afghanistan, noting that during two Foreign Relations Committee hearings on Afghanistan and other subjects, Obama didn’t ask questions about the Taliban, Al Qaeda, or Afghanistan.

.
3. Often forgetful in daily activities.

Example: Obama says “ahhhhh” all the time when he isn’t scripted

.
4. Often avoids, dislikes, or doesn’t want to do things that take a lot of mental effort for a long period of time (such as schoolwork or homework).

Example: Obama stayed less than 1 day in Iraq to study what was happening on the ground

Yes, that one. He engineered Clinton’s demolition of Bob Dole before he ever got started. August is a good time. Besides at the rate Boma is raising money ($50 million a month) McCain better get ‘er done now.

If he won't attack and run on traditional conservative principles, he could at least run on his old pictures from 1974 when he was drop-dead adorable. That will at least get the sympathetic female vote.

When is the McCain campaign going to get serious?

He compared Obama to Britney and Paris...

How much more serious can he get? /sarc

When Obama says he will only tax the rich, it's like saying he won't shut down the entire ship, just the engine room.

That is a very good statement.

I think Morris is off-base here. Remember Dukakis in the tank? Ridicule of a candidate is very effective when the candidate is vulnerable to it.

All right, all right. The sofa picture didn't get you excited...but this one will.

Right. Morris’ argument about Mondale, Dukakis and Kerry being taken out in the summer omits the fact that their nominating conventions were held in July, not late August as this one.

Super delegates are getting nervous. It was mentioned though not with much fanfare from the msm, that eight pledged sd’s have dropped O and could pledge for Hillary in Denver. How many more might take the before the nomination becomes in jeopardy?

Dick Morris should rewatch The Godfather. In the immortal words of Jack Wolz, “A man in my position can’t afford to be made to look ridiculous.” That’s just what McCain’s people are doing to the haloed one. Morris should know better.

No, September and October are the months to take Obama down. If he crashes badly at the polls before the convention, the super-delegates will just pick Hillary

Once he is the official ballot nominee, it's too late to switch him out (or perhaps not, this is the Dems we're talking about)

I am certainly no McCain fan, but he is doing things just right, IMHO, to appeal to the broadest group of voters that he can hope to win.

Remember, a converted Dem vote is worth 2 (TWO) conservative votes.

He continues this way, Obama will go down like NO candidate in history.

Obama will beat himself. McCain just has to look reasonable and American.

Pathetic spots?? Eye of the beholder, I guess. McCain’s ads seem very impressive to me, and they’re hitting Obama where he’s most vulnerable.
As for August being the time to knock out Obama, wouldn’t Morris LOVE to see Hillary get back into the race. Puts him back in demand as a common tator.
I can scarcely believe the GOP luck that the Dems are saddled with Obama as a nominee. I actually stayed up some nights worrying that Clinton would snatch victory from him, and thus from McCain in November (maybe).
We should wait ‘til Obama is safely nominated. Any more press conferences like he did this morning, and he might not be!
For a while there, it seemed like Dick Morris was developing a mind. But if he wants Obama discredited beyond repair NOW, he surely knows who’d benefit from that:
Hillary Clinton.
