Attack. Counter Attack.

One of the biggest problems of the Kerry campaign in 2004 was the lack of an effective response to charges from the opposition…this should be one of the great lessons for 2008. An attack dog for the Democrats has surfaced, and it is not Hillary Clinton, who was fairly restrained in Florida on Monday on behalf of Barack Obama. A Clinton-Palin skirmish does not seem likely.

Ed Rendell has charged the McCain campaign with “The Big Lie Strategy” – a strategy the McCain campaign certainly did not invent, but seems determined to implement.
