Typical flip-flop. First Obama says he's going to accept in a convention center, but now, for political expediency, he's talking about speaking in a stadium. So very Muslim of him.

Here's another reason for Obama opting out. Obama needs to start running some ads against McCain, and force the media's hand. The video on McCain is devastating. I imagine Obama's campaign is getting ready to drop some pain on McCain.

The concern is that the media and GOP are starting to come together on the familiar flip-flop narrative. In a way, there's nothing Obama can do about this. Either he's a wild-eyed leftist or a flip-flopper. What Obama needs to do is fight back by turning this on McCain. There have already been a number of web videos out illustrating McCain's waffling. Time for these to make the jump to the TV. Moveon should be doing ads like these, rather than the stupid "you can't have my baby" one.

But Pat Buchanan said today everything's going wrong for Obama. I don't understand. Pat's a straight shooter.

Maybe this is a coordinated attempt by the McCain team to disqualify VP candidates they particularly fear. They want the military angle all to themselves. Let's see if next Jack Reed somehow offends poor Johnny.

The problem here is the right has spent a decade insinuating the idea Clark got fired from his last job into the media's consciousness. One thing these turds know how to do is lay the groundwork for their attacks. So if I had to guess, most reporters would look at that quote and think, "Well, duh."

Wishful thinking, douche bag. The better comparison is the Liberal Reagan. Watch out Grover, you're about to get steamrolled. Or rickrolled. Both would be sweet.

Despite the lameness of the McCain campaign, I don't think they needed Clinton to come up with these lines of attack. If anything, she just borrowed the Rove playbook for a few months, before handing it back to its rightful owners.

Actually, Obama has done a pretty good job defining McCain as the third coming of Bush. He is now seen by a huge percentage of Americans as the same as Bush on a lot of issues. I think part of the problem with the current situation is we're only seeing the tip of the iceberg. The Obama campaign is in the process of building a massive general election operation, one that will dwarf what McCain is doing and could have a significant impact on the election. Meanwhile, McCain is focusing much of his attention on the DC media, masking a certain hollowness in his organization. Yes, Obama has had a few stumbles of late. But the problem with judging a presidential campaign at this stage and from such a close vantage point is that it can be difficult to see what actually matters in who will win. Message is important, but machines win elections.

Obama has three major things going for him: Bush, resources, and excitement. Of the three only one is manifest at this point. People hate Bush, which is allowing a talented, but relatively unknown black man take an early lead. Resources will come into play as the months go on, with Obama spreading the field like never before and blitzing the airwaves. And excitement will make itself known on Nov. 4, when millions of new voters flood the polls. So for Obama to be up at all right now is good news, especially after a bruising primary that only just ended. Barring some unforeseen event or Obama's inability to fight off the smears, this may be the high water mark for McCain.
