Can you believe they waited this long!? These so called political consultants must be completely out of touch with the reality on the ground. These guys probably think the MSM is unbiased and will give McCain objective coverage.

When you consider that the average voter [Freepers excluded, of course] has the attention span of a fruit fly, possibly the *perfect* time to get nasty is as close to the election as possible.

Take 9/11 for example.
For a *lot* of people, it already has an air of unreality and they have ‘put it behind them’.
