Wolfson Defends McCain Campaign for Moving Quickly to Fend Off Obama Race Card - Video 7/31/08
Blogs for John McCain ^ | August 1, 2008 | b

Posted on 08/01/2008 5:06:51 AM PDT by blogsforthompson.com

Here is video of former Clinton adviser Howard Wolfson defending the McCain Campaign yesterday on Fox News. Wolfson as much as admits that what Obama did was play the race card when he made the statement two days ago that people were trying to scare Americans about him because he does not "look like the other presidents on the dollar bills." Wolfson knows what Obama was trying to do, and he acknowledges that McCain moved quickly to not let what happened to Hillary Clinton happen to him. . .(see video)

Saw it live and he wasn’t quite defending McCain to me as pointing out the intellectual inconsistency of Obama.

There’s no love lost there you can be sure. And this guy must be hearing it from a lot of people for cashing a check at Fox.

But campaign advisers need cash as much as the next guy.

As I posted yesterday, on F&F Howard said that McCain was LOSING and that the Republican brand was ruined. The Friends tried to bring up the new polls but Howard would have none of that saying that Barry was ahead.

No one on this forum ever seriously doubted that obama would play the race card against McCain, the same way he played it against Hillary. I can only hope that Americans see through this phony and the racist strategy blows up in his face. McCain is right to attack the true racist obama every time he brings it up.

All this projecting and prognostication is a complete wast of time this early.

Remember, the majority of voters aren’t even paying attention right now. When the debates start, appearance is about 80% of the public’s decision factor. McCain stumbles around with that mike on his hand and gives the appearance of being an 80 year old stroke victim.

Voters look for vitality and mobility in a candidate. The age debacle will prove to be McCain’s biggest problem in this election. Also, be assured that they will bring up McCain’s past, which is not at all very nice. Especially the way he treated his ex-wife.

And, McCain looks very tired and weak lately. The MSM has not even begun to do what it is all too well known for. So save your enthusiasm for then when the real race for the White House begins.

Obama is not just playing the race card against McCain. he’s playing it against the entire American public.

This dude should get with the currently approved groupthought.

Saying that Obama is playing the Race Card, when he plays the Race Card, is RACIST!

The truth, and other opinions than your own, is not something you handle well.

Get over it....

Forget McCain. This election will be an up or down vote on the Obama-false-messiah. He will lose.

Project absolutes all you want, but that still does not change the reality that will come about mid-October.

Save your energy for then. McCain is going to need it.
