The Paul Hackett "Obama Strategy for Ohio™"

It's good because it's new. It's fresh baby.

Well, if anybody knows something about losing in Ohio...

He says Obama's losing Ohio because of unreliable polling (Bradley effect), no organization in southern Ohio, and he doesn't have a good attack message.

Here are his suggestions for that message. Keep in mind it's a simple one that he points out can be refined by professionals.

"Sarah Palin? Can't keep her solemn oath of devotion to her husband and had sex with his employee. Sarah Palin? Accidentally got pregnant at age 43 and the tax payers of Alaska have to pay for the care of her disabled child. Sarah Palin? Unable to teach her 16 year old daughter right from wrong and now another teenager is pregnant. Sarah Palin? Can you trust Sarah Palin and her values with America's future? John McCain? Divorced from his first wife one month and marries a billionaire influence peddler and convicted felon. John McCain, a record of rash and impulsive decisions. That’s not change that’s more of the same.”

I do not sense thoughtful, self-examination on the part of Mr. Hackett. Nor much awareness of recent shifting in the political landscape, or as wiserbud puts it "At least a 10 point shift nationally in favor or McCain/Palin and this idiot wants to continue the strategy that has had a major hand in those polling numbers being where they are".

Yep. Double-down on stupid. That's a strategy.

I don't know why I'm acting like this. I don't do this for a living.
