John McCain has again shifted around who is in charge of his campaign. Anyone notice that through the Clinton and McCain shakeups the Obama camp has kept its head down and is being run smooth as silk?
UPDATE: Josh Marshall has more detail on why this is a bad sign for McCain. They’re scrapping everything and giving up whatever advantage they had during the extended Democratic primary.
This is a good time to remind people that the Democratic party has operations in all 50 states, and that the Obama campaign has been able to build on that with their volunteers and infusion of enthusiasm.
It’s like a national party or something.
“You will hear from my opponent’s campaign in every speech, every interview, every press release that I’m running for President Bush’s third term. You will hear every policy of the President described as the Bush-McCain policy. Why does Senator Obama believe it’s so important to repeat that idea over and over again? Because he knows it’s very difficult to get Americans to believe something they know is false.”
Bringing in more Bush people to run your campaign will sure prove them wrong, Senator.
Oliver,
Sorry, this is off topic here, but was wondering if you had seen the Alex Ross (fine, fine artist of Superman!) rendered Obama t-shirt?
It’s pretty cool. As a fellow comic fan and an Obama supporter I just thought you’d at least find it interesting.
google Alex Ross, Obama t-shirt.
sorry for the interruption. Back to your regularly scheduled blogging.
midderpidge,
You made me laugh out loud.
Thank you.
“Because he knows it’s very difficult to get Americans to believe something they know is false.”
What, like McCain’s position on everything?
You run with that, Johnny.
Indeed.
Hey! Take it easy on Johnny Songbird!

Is this good news for John McCain?
Is this good news for John McCain?
What isn’t?
And yes the shirt is awesome.
That shirt is awesome. The problem with Schmidt is that he’s one of Rove’s flunkys. That means the race is going to get real dirty at some point.
