The Obama Project@WindonWater.net

Last night I was hearing everyone talk about how Obama made a mistake – that McCain “himself” never played the race card, even if some fringe periphery groups might have.  I thought that argument was sound, and then I saw this, from 2 months ago:

Now we know just who played the race card, and what was being talked about when Obama said “he doesn’t look like the other people on the currency.”

In looking at McCain’s web site I’m just stunned at how much of a disrespectful campaign McCain is running. Whereas Obama’s video section is LOADED with Obama making speeches, talking about issues, connecting with people, OR, about people connecting with people, creating a movement for change. McCain’s site? Childishly making fun of Barack. I had believed, until today, that McCain was running a parallel campaign as Obama’s and that it was McCain’s surrogates and the outside groups (with or without permission from McCain) who were being disrespectful. I now know differently. Nothing could have sold me harder against McCain that this.

Obama has to hit, and hit hard. The McCain campaign has determined that even flat out lies gotten out to the media will permeate the public consciousness. Constant rebuttal, unless it has more force than the original, will only become background noise. Now we know how McCain plans to win. Will Obama let him steal an election this way? Because I count this as more of a steal than a supreme court judgment. Running a campaign entirely on the creation of false impressions is a cheat to the American people, and I think we deserve better.
