Yes, we can.

I agree. This is what the Republicans are expected to do, and they win the last word (including the wind-sucking Palin announcement) because their Convention was later on the calendar.

Frankly, I think that bit of timing is only fair, since it's the Democrats' election to lose.

I like Obama's high-road in comparison to the GOP's gutter sniping. But I trust he's wary of being swift-boated, and will respond when necessary and as swiftly as their assessment determines.

That said ... every general always fights the last war, and ever politician always counters the last campaign. Rarely does that kind of strategy work, but it's the only one most humans throughout history have ever been able to come up with.
