Business Week - David Kiley

What the McCain campaign doesn’t want people to know, according to one GOP strategist I spoke with over the weekend, is that they had an ad script ready to go if Obama had visited the wounded troops saying that Obama was...wait for it...using wounded troops as campaign props. So, no matter which way Obama turned, McCain had an Obama bashing ad ready to launch.

4. There's only one way for Republicans to win, and that's to manipulate voters...

Given the truth about issues, few Americans would vote against themselves and their children.

5. We were pretty sure of that.

It was a no win trap, either way he'd have been criticized and he really did the right thing by not going, but calling them instead.

Glad that the issue is growing old and off the radar.

So they can all slime Obama in perfect harmony, no matter what he does.

7. the Obama camp should have been smarter on this issue...

IMO, he should have publicly canceled the trip and then went quietly by himself... then McCain couldn't say shit.

8. It doesn't matter what Obama does...

... they'll slime him. And with the willing help of the MSM repeating their slimy talking points endlessly, unfortunately some of the slime may stick.

9. No kidding.

10. Rick Davis just denied that claim
