....anyway, I have to give credit to Michelle Malkin for that one.

"go there" with these 5 specifics too much.
He is proving her erecently that his kid gloves wrt Obama are coming off. I suspect they will come off further in the near future.
However, the heavy punching will have to be left to 527's.
Curiously enough, ABC is giving me a glimmer of hope that Obama will not blatatly get a pass with them. Jake Tapper is on his trail. Let's hope he keeps it up and continues to stoke the fire.

Just a typical, small town, white girl...

once he realizes that he is being attacked without restraint and that the media is in fact biased against him, he will not hesitate to change tactics and go 100%.

He will not be a Bob Dole and spend most of the campaign season mystified by the unfairness of it. McCain is a fighter when he thinks he is being treated unfairly, which is certain to happen.

McCain also thinks Obama is a phony who claims credit for things he didn't do. I think he actually respects Sen. Clinton more. Don't know if that will translate into "rough play" but if Obama makes him mad, he may not hold back.

I think the underlying problem is that McCain wants to win on the issues. I don't think he wants "analysts" discussing how he "only won because of the racist vote" or "the association with Rev. Wright." He wants to have them saying "McCain's vision won over a majority of Americans."

I don't know if that's a good strategy, but I think it's part of his slightly idealized view of how politics should be.

that the Navy guy will fight back hard. He won't leave it all up to 527's, Rush and Gamecock.

restraint could cost him the election, and he will respond in full force.

The guy has had the MSM on his side for years. The winds are about to shift, and McCain is going to be shocked--not intellectually (he knows that its coming), but it will be a shock to him nonetheless.

McCain is a fighter, has a bit of a temper, and will not stand for it.

I think McCain will strike back in disciplined and effective way.

I think the campaign is going to be nasty---much more nasty than the previous two election cycles.

while not holding back.

Obama is like Bill Clinton in this one regard---he can say really false things with a big smile.

Exhibit A: McCain's 100 year plan for Iraq.

Remember how the NYT "endorsed" McCain and used it to unload on Rudy. Well, I think we all knew they would end up trashing him eventually. They seem to be on a one-paper effort to make up false stuff and throw it at McCain (it's almost like they want to help him).

Well, the campaign has pushed back pretty solidly and they have a good rapid response going on it. The conf. calls with bloggers are often focused on fighting the MSM's bias. So it seems they realize that past "allies" won't stay that way since he now is Mr. Republican to the press.

When they lay it on with uncredible allegations and innuendo regarding age, lobbyist connections, being a Bush stooge, etc. there will be a tremendous amount of circling the wagons.

People like Rush who will call it as they see it will use the NY as a punching bag.

I am confident McCain will fight back, I just hope he doesn't delay too long in the hopes of running the kind of campaign he wants to run.

Presidents never have the presidencies they really want. They don't get to run the campaigns that the really want. Voters will always bitch and moan about not having the candidates they want (I remember in 2000 after the VP debate people were saying that the tickets should be flipped).

Time to get over all that stuff and make sure that the US does not add a new category titled "extreme leftists" to its roster of Presidents.

It will be a KnownFact by 2010 that he and the GOP ran a completely "racist" campaign! This will be logged along with other MSM KnownFacts like "Bush-lied-people-died!" and the common usages of "McCarthyite" and "SwiftBoat."

this campaign is going to greatly weaken the MSM even further, because when the inattentive great un-washed get attentive, they are going to resent the hell out of being deemed racist for questioning Obama's character as he gets the anal exam all men get when they want to hold the nukes.

There's like 20 million pictures of him shooting hoops.

Someone's got to punch the hippies.

Can't get more American than basketball, especially if he looks good playing.

Actually I was hoping he played cricket or polo with some "foreign leaders".
