He's got to leave the door open to combat the filthy 529s McCain has pretty much committed himself to having help him.

I might suggest that George Soros has some mighty filthy 529s (I thought they were 527s, but I'm not sure) that will be working on behalf of Obama.

Obama has said that the Republicans will try to use his youth, inexperience, his "funny name", and that "by the way, he's black" as scare tactics.

Excuse me?

I find this offensive in a variety of ways. First, it seems as if he is equating youth and inexperience with race. This is an attempt to deflect the legitimate issues of youth and inexperience by equating them with non-existant criticism on his race. Secondly, I have no heard one republican use race as an issue - the Clintons did, certainly - and any that did would be instantaneously and correctly crucified.

Just because they haven't yet, doesn't mean they won't. And it won't come (officially) from the McCain campaign or the party. It will be some group - Swift Boat Veterans, or the like.

For some reason we don't get those ads in Oregon. We only seem to get "endorsed by....candidate" ads. It's always interesting to see other states ads and you get them from all kinds of groups and this "Swift" thing that I don't get. Oh well, sorry for the interruption.

I agree it may come. The truly reprehensible part is Obama positioning that stupidity as equivalent to the legitimate issues of youth and inexperience.

Those ads are typically focused in battleground states or districts.

May? Will! David Fredosso's already got one on the the way.

You remember him, right? That staunch truth teller who gave us "Unfit For Command".

And Obama wishes to equate outrageousness with legitimate issues.

Not to mention a small little 527 named moveon.org that just might be producing some ads on behalf of Obama. But wait. I suppose they are completely truthful.

How is saying "here's a list of things they're going to say about me" infer he's equating them? They're all things that have been and will be said. Don't even try to say that no one has said "don't vote for him because he's black and his name is Muslim". Hell, my mom has already said that.
