So, there goes the last bit of credibility of the McCain campaign. I'm awaiting another drop in the polls for him. If Hillary couldn't use the "fear card" against Obama, I wonder how someone who has lost a lot of credibility over the last month can pull it off.

People want to hear about the economy, going negative will only increase the idea that McCain doesn't know what to do with the topic.

This. That is what folks want to here about. Palling around with terrorists? Please - the Bushes worked with the binladens in the past. It's documented - and brought to the big screen by Mike Moore.

Voters want to know who will fix the economy. And Dems have that advantage. The GOP can forget it this year - and in light of the terrorist comments and links, they've played that card too many times. Folks are just turning the channels and ignoring the negative stuff. The economy is trashed, Wall St. is crazing, health care is a joke - and the GOP *thinks* screaming 'Drill, baby, drill!' or calling Obama out for palling around with terrorists and other smears is gonna change this election? Nope. Folks are facing foreclosures and want someone in the office will be focused on them and helping folks. McCain is just proving he'll do anything and let stuff slide that he should call.

For him, personal attacks - or letting paid members in your crowd - are the way to go. Have them say what you want. But my friends, the economy, not Iraq, not experience and not taxes will determine this election. McCain's goose is cooked unless he focuses on the economy, saves his money and tries hard as the devil to win the public's trust.
