Stop all other ideas - take a measurement - throw out some new ideas etc. <BR/><BR/>i.e. a market testing approach. <BR/><BR/>Let us hope they have a tested message by next Monday or they are toast.M.

It has to be a frontal assault on a full time round the clock basis. I think Palin gets what is going on, but McCain doesn't seem to get that the media is no longer pretending to be objective, and is fully and openly going for Obama. Plain of course has her own problems. She doesn't even know how to sidestep reporter's questions. Her Supreme Court debacle was unnerving to me. I am thinking we might have to develop an underground "railroad" or network if the unthinkable occurs next month. . .PDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12617240993144959079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282587.post-55490486339995182212008-10-02T05:08:00.000+00:002008-10-02T05:08:00.000+00:00McCain/Palin have 30 days.

For the same reason they have been fronting Palin to the public through overtly hostile and mendacious Old Media interviewers. One is left to wonder if, even at this late date, Senator McCain still doesn't really believe that Old Media is hostile to him and his party.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
