POLITICS: Popgun Politics
Please, please, please tell me that John McCain's not going to spend a ton of time beating up Obama on an agreement they had about campaign spending. Sure, send him a nasty press relase, whatever. Remind the media that he's not Mr. Above The Fray. But this sort of meta-politics is not a winning general election argument.
I think for a lot of the people who have doubts about Obama but would still consider voting for him, those doubts center on him being too naive and idealistic. So reminding them that he's capable of being a calculating realist isn't necessarily going to help McCain.
Rick Lazio proved CFR is not a voting issue
