I've got to hand it to the Obama campaign. They came up with a strategy that was freaking brilliant.
They have molded Obama into a new kind of candidate, one that is above all the mud slinging and name calling. One that says any negative ads or deviatation from the issues really isn't called for in this election. Sowing these seeds have been brilliant for two reasons.
1. Does anyone really think that a politician that comes through the most politically corrupt city in America is a new kind of politiican? If anything he would be the biggest snake of them all.
2. Any references to Obama's shaky past can then just be brushed off as playing politics and not sticking to the issues. Why is this important? Because without those associations, one really doesn't know what Obama stands for.
Any time McCain comes out with a new plan or attempt to show himself as a conservative or rebel, Obama just points to his voting record and career in the legislature as what he truly believes. I admit, I believe McCain's voting record more than I believe in what's coming out of his mouth. Actions do speak louder than words.
But in Obama's case, words are all that we can go on. What piece of legislation can anyone point to that defines what this man truly believes in? Is his liberal voting record now off limits? He voted for this ridiculous bailout plan (which BTW was Bush's baby). That should tell anyone right away he isn't concerned about real change.
So in the absence of a voting record to fall back on, the only way we can get a glimpse as to what this man truly believes is to look at his associations and affiliations through out his life. Actions speak louder than words.
As I've said--brilliant. The only avenue that the public has to get a glimpse into what Obama believes has been shut down by his campaign as being 'negative'. Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if this strategy was planned four years ago which is why Obama hasn't produced any legislation in the Senate during that time. The paper trail could be held against him--this can't.
