John McCain is starting today with a new speech in an attempt to come back and fight against Obama and the Democrats. They're calling it "hitting the reset button," but it won't change the national dialogue enough to matter. William Kristol says that McCain's best chance would be to fire his whole dysfunctional campaign. Really, McCain's only chance is to attack Obama for his liberalism, using his associations and alliances through the years (Ayres, Wright, Rezko, Dohrn) as evidence. McCain could even turn to the work of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, which seeks to turn schoolchildren into left-wing "social justice" activists.
I know at least one thing: if McCain doesn't stop telling people that they have nothing to fear from an Obama Presidency, he won't stand a chance. Especially since the drop in the markets are due to a fear of socialism, according to Investor's Business Daily. Why be afraid of that? We know that the quasi-socialist New Deal extended the Great Depression by 7 years, and that it was government regulation and control that caused the economic mess to begin with.
The New York Times' Frank Rich comes just short of saying that a right-wing nut job will kill Barack Obama before the election.
Conservative columnists are already pondering the repercussions of an Obama Presidency. Chuck Muth points out the silver linings, while Michael Barone looks at the demolition of free speech under Obama. Democrats are already planning their post-election session in Congress to grow government and the welfare state.
Obama has a new answer for the Ayers attack: he assumed that Ayers had been rehabilitated. In 1998, Ayers and Dohrn said that they actually wished that they had been more militant.
Joe Biden isn't very happy about the legitimate attacks on Barack Obama. He's also playing the class warfare card, criticizing companies and individuals for trying to avoid the confiscatory taxes in the United States.
There are 30,000 convicted felons on the voter rolls in Florida. In other election-theft news, a federal judge in Ohio threw out an order requiring the Ohio Secretary of State to verify all new voter registrations. In Pennsylvania, a retired Supreme Court Justice says that there probably won't be a fair election this year. (H/T to RedState.com for both)
Barack Obama may not set preconditions for talks with Iran, but Iran will set preconditions for talks with Barack Obama.
John Lewis took the opportunity this weekend to compare McCain and Palin to George Wallace. In legitimate racial polling, Obama's race is probably going to help him on Election Day.
Check out the tolerance of liberals in Manhattan, and here's more of the left's tolerance for women. Warning, both are graphic.
