Subject: Bart, you need to pay better attention
Obama is fighting. He honestly is.
For example, when McCain said he'd get rid of
the "old boys' club",
Obama noted that for McCain "old boys' club"
was pretty much "a staff meeting".
That's what the kids on the street call an ice-cold
burn, son.
On Anderson Cooper 360--not necessarily impartial
but he's generally good people--last night,
they noted that Obama had spent more money on
negative ads (defined as "an ad where you talk
about the other person and not yourself") than
McCain since the Republican convention.
Furthermore, while it seems like Obama isn't fighting,
he's hammering McCain, but McCain is lying
through his teeth--which is getting everyone's
attention, and not in a good way: even people who
whored for Bush are outraged at the blatant falsity
of McCain's ads. Karl Rove has said that some
of McCain's recent ads have not passed the "100%
truth" test, which tells you that they might as well
have been claiming Obama was behind 9/11.
On top of that, they're spending time ripping
down Palin on every channel but Fox and laughing at
the talking points the Republican cobble together
in desperation to defend her.

Mike, you're saying Obama is running a good campaign?
Is there anyone not on Obama's payroll who agrees with you?
Bush is the WPE, and McCain promises more of the same
and our guy can't pull away from him in the polls?
Don't you think our best should be 10 points ahead of their best?
You say I'm not paying attention, I get that, but you'd have to admit
that
the 10-12 hours a day I spend on politics is surely paying more attention
than
99% of the average American - so what are they thinking?
A NYWTimes poll says 51% of people think Obama's going to raise their
taxes
Who's going to vote for higher taxes in Bush's economy?
I'm getting tired of reading columns asking why Obama refuses to fight
back - aren't you?
Isn't that why you wrote this e-mail?
We'll find out in 6 weeks if Obama fought hard enough,
but would it hurt him to show more fight while there's still time to
win?
