McCain's attack on Obama as a defeatist is right out of the Karl Rove playbook. But here's why it won't work.

    It is happening again, don't let it

    I can't believe that people are thinking "if won't work." It will if Obama and his surrogates don't take the gloves off NOW. This is the time when the defining of the undefined occurs, and it doesn't happen in Germany, it happens in Germantown. There is an above it all sense, a forbearance, on the Obama campaign's part that is scary. Bob herbert pointed it out this morning in the NYT. They should STILL be hammering McCain for for Phil Gramm's "Americans are whiners" comment. Notice -- it is five days now since Obama didn't see wounded soldiers and it is still alive in the new cycle. Fire with firs, for crying out loud! Don't think people just see a grouchy old man when they see McCain -- they see a battered but unbroken war hero. he has to be shown to be the corrupt war monger that he is.
