The Volume of Disrupters Here Tonight Means Obama Drew Blood
They're reeling in their attempts to sell McCain's predictable overreaction on the lipstick thing. McCain got clipped hard, and the Freepers are running over here in droves trying to redirect it. They're wincing from the left hook!

Obama laid a nice little trap, and the idiots at the McCain campaign jumped right in. And Obama slammed them hard, and then hard again. Now they're trying to save this comical misstep. Score the round huge for Obama today.

Also killing the McCainites today is the fine-tuned "taxing your healthcare benefits" argument that Obama and Biden have just been killing them with out on the trail. McCain is going to tax your employer paid health care benefits as straight salary! That's crazy talk, and everybody inb the middle class knows it. Hell, even freepers would run from that! But that's McCain's policy! It's killing the Mccain/Palin ticket.

4. Do you think people are getting
that McCain wants to treat benefits as taxable income? I'll bet
it is a tiny percent that is picking up on this.

9. I think the FACT that McCain wants to tax your employer paid benefits as income
IS getting out there, and I think it has to be at the top of the list of points we go with when talking to voters out there on the streets.

7. I couldn't agree more.
The afterglow of Palin is already wearing off, because after all, all they have is an old man and his nasally one trick pony, and being from Minnesota, I know nasally.

They have nothing. Nothing to run on, nothing to be excited about, nothing.

12. The tax Health Insurance thing
(We need a paper bag emoticon) - I wasn't aware of until I went home last week and my dad hit me with printouts and quotes on McCain. He's absolutely livid about it.

I think THAT needs to get into the upper middle class' hands. I'm serious. That needs to be put out there. Look - I make a good living - but the lack of health care coverage and the crappy service/thieving of the health ins industry ticks me off . . . EVERY American should have the health insurance my company provides as a benefit. Every single one of us.

Now - he wants to take it away from EVERYONE and give them sub-standard care? I'm not going for that. Homey don't play that!

25. They aren't just here, they're all over the Internets. Politic, MSNBC blogs,
ABC blogs...they're everywhere. And they're pulling out Muslim and Ayers and Wright and every single Rush/Hannity smear they can come up with.

It's like mass panic, and I actually can't figure out what triggered it. I saw it starting yesterday and it's reached a fevered pitch tonight.

29. They were expecting the fake 54-44% poll to hold
They needed a convention cushion, because Palin is being exposed as an obvious fraud, and Obama is smacking the shit out of them on the trail. They are in meltdown mode.

36. Remember, the McCain campaign is offering prizes for trolling comments on Dem blogs...
I figure some of them have qualified for a set of McCain golf balls by the end of a day's work.

39. Palin's selection must have inspired them all...
Her being plucked from relative obscurity has made them think if they can make a name for themselves here, they might be picked for a cabinet position!
