We're all aware of the Rovian strategy of attacking his opponent's strength. Despite all of his despicable flaws, Rove is right on this one. If you break down your opponent's strengths, they have nothing with which to fight. I just listened to the podcast of today's Meet the Press, and Brokaw, as moderator, led off by quoting polling internals that showed McCain's "leadership" ratings as high and rising. Thus, perceptions of his leadership is his strength. Attack his leadership. How? I've said it before and I'll say it again. His selection of Palin over Lieberman reveals that he's not in charge of his own campaign, nor his own party. This reveals a failure in his ability or willingness to lead. Call him on it. Every day. McCain cannot lead his own campaign. McCain cannot lead his own party. He cannot lead the country. His policy affinity with Bush is his weakness. That works for us pretty much on its own. While it's necessary to highlight differences on issues, it's not the right kind of kung fu that disables the opponent's campaign. Most issue voters have likely made up their minds. The rest is about mobilization and counter-mobilization. Obama's got no problem mobilizating his own constituents. He's got to include a strategy of de-mobilizing those folks who still subscribe to the ridiculous notion that McCain is a strong leader.
