The economy stuff is too complicated for most voters.

BS. This is how simple it is;

Clinton wanted to get more poor and minorities into homes. He lowered the standards at Fannie/Freddie creating risky subprime loans to accomplish that goal. When Republicans tried to regulate Fannie/Freddie they were blocked by Dems. (show video with testimony of Barney, Shumer, Dodd, etc say there were no problems at Fannie/Freddie) Democrats not only made statements against fixing the problem, they voted against or blocked every piece of legislation to control the run-a-way subprime loan problem.

What about that is so difficult to understand?

McCain must be worried about alienating the black vote...

Absolutely right! The stupid RNC should be beating this drum loud and clear. Why are they so timid about touching this? Using the Democrats own words against them would ensure an Obama and Democratic defeat come November.

“Clinton wanted to get more poor and minorities into homes. He lowered the standards at Fannie/Freddie creating risky subprime loans to accomplish that goal”

Even that is arguable because Clinton recently pointed out that he wanted to do a better job of regulating Fannie and Freddie and the Democrats in his own party blocked him. Then you also have 2 or so state of the union addresses when President Bush spoke of home ownership and what it will do when we have more homeowners in the country (wink and nod to Democrats and his compassionate conservatism).

Let the RNC fight this battle because the electorate does not know who to believe at this point and the more McCain brings this up the more time it distracts from true winners like Rezko/Ayers connections.

Nope. People will blame Bush for the economy. Period. Fair or not, its a fact. The best we can do is change the subject. Moreover, it completely misunderstands the undecided voters who will decide this election — patriotic, blue collar and other common sense people in Ohio, Penn, Florida, Michigan, Virginia, New Mexico, etc. They really have not heard much about Wright, Rezko and Ayers ... and they have not seen the emotional, devastating type of ads that can be run about these associations. There will be a groundswell against Obama if done correctly.

Exactly, but start at 1977 and let’s not forget who’s taking money from whom: http://www.opensecrets.org/
