Thanks, Hub. That is EXACTLY what happened, and is STILL happening, to McCain's benefit.
The MSM has decided that Iraq is a four letter word, not to be spoken.
And way back in the primary campaign, Hillary and her campaign decided the same thing. It didn't work for her, and it's not going to work for McCain.
John McCain's unstinting record of carrying the hod for bush and the GOP's lunatic, unending, debacle is going to be tattooed on his forehead for this election.
And in one more little mine-canary for "mission accomplished", yesterday, the Police Chief in Basra was killed by a bomb under his BED in the police station. How did that get there?
There's not enough lipstick in Revlon's warehouses to make bush's bloody porker look like a homecoming queen, for McCain in this election.
If Hillary had acted like what she claims to be (a liberal leader) 6 years ago and actually voted against the Iraq resolution, we'd be looking at a far different outcome today. Instead, she followed the bad advice of Penn and the DLC triangulators to the point where she refused to even apologize for an obvious error in judgement.
The identity politics crowd exploited the MSM's attempted whitewashing of Iraq from the primary to blame Hillary's bad decisions on misogyny. But that's the past, we're in the general election now, and we must keep Iraq front and center and hang the disaster around McSame's neck.
Every chance I got, I'd slap Iraq bumper stickers all over McCain. Tar and feather him with them, fer Chrissakes. Obama has the right strategy here - link JSM inextricably with Kim Jong Bush and superglue them both at the hip.
If McCain takes up Obama's challenge to debate the war and foreign policy, I'd want a two-story-high reproduction of the iconic "McCain Embracing Bush" photo as a backdrop - otherwise, no debate.
OTD: "We must keep Iraq front and center..."
We will. :o)
That's one of the huge pluses in nominating Barack; he's ready, willing, AND ABLE to do that.
Whereas! Poor little "progressive", misogyny-crippled Senator Clinton, has elbow-deep blood running off her hands, and has her ongoing support for all things surgish, to deal with.
As always, would she have gotten after McCain for his halitosis?
Thankfully, it looks like we won't know the answer to that question.
you're not helping Sen Obama, tanbark. Have you ever heard of having respect for your opponents?
