A serious question:

Why is Obama campaigning against McCain?

The alternative?

Run against W!
Run on W's record!

I'll keep saying it, over and over: EVERY Democratic candidate, from Obama down to local dog-catcher, ought run on W's record!!!

9/11: Osama bin who? [This one could be fun: (after obtaining permission) - run a series of ads based on "Where's Waldo" theme -- "Where's Osama?"]

Economy: remember that budget surplus? Remember $2/gal gas? Remember $30/bbl oil? Remember your last raise? These were called "The Clinton Years."

Iraq:

"It could last, you know, six days, six weeks. I doubt six months."
[SecDef Rumsfeld, 7 Feb 2003]
"There is a lot of money to pay for this. It does not have to be U.S. taxpayer money. We are dealing with a country that can really finance its own reconstruction."
[Paul Wolfowitz, 27 Mar 2003]
"... we don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud."
[Nat'l Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, CNN LATE EDITION WITH WOLF BLITZER, 8 Sep 2002]

Freddie & Fannie tanking, loss of jobs, $600Bn down the Iraq drain, Taliban resurgent, Osama & Mullah Omar still at large...

Free advice to Obama and all other Dem candidates (worth every penny!):

Forget McCain!
Run on W's record!!!

Stop the madness!
