Who's playing the race card?

Barack Obama says John McCain is trying to scare voters because he "doesn't look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills," and the McCain camp cries foul.

    Mistakes

    McCain campaign ismaking same mistakes as the Clinton camapaign.

    A few months ago I think Obama telling voters the republicans want to paint his as scary was relevant. I'm not sure it is now. I was surprised to hear him repeat this week in MO.

    I agree with Dutchess... "arrogant" is code word of "Uppity".

    The McCain "Celebrity Ad" is just bad advertising on McCain's part. First Britney & Paris remind me of Cindy McCain, and yes Obama is liked worldwide. McCain doe not talk about his own policies.

    I thought Obama's response Ad was right on.

    Maybe Obama should play up McCain as the 'professional ex-POW", but then Obama is above all that.

    Truth is republicans only know how to canpaign by being negative, as they have no new ideas.
