Eight is Enough

Eight is Enough. three words that encapsulate, crystalize, and clarify everything important in this election cycle. This small, seemingly innocuous phrase will be, in my opinion, the very cornerstone in the most effective attack on McCain to date. No matter what else McCain tries to say, he is still of the party of the last eight. He still embodies the twisted ideals that have led us on this ruinous road, he is the mascot of the last eight, and as Barack said, Eight IS enough.
I;m sure that everyone expected Barack to let Biden be his attack dog, expected Barack to rely on sunny plattitudes, expected Barack to take the high, hands off road. And counter to that expectation by every single Pundit, Barack too McCain head on, and framed him for what he really is, the continuation of the same path. the same negative progress, the same failure and stagnation.
I’m sure that Barack wasn’t expected to take head on the impression of Celebrity, but yet and so, he did so. He framed his story, and made it the story of every person. Each aspect had a familiar struggle, not patronage, but work.
I’m sure that McCain’s camp did not expect Barack to attack headlong, the threat of dirty politics, but yet he did. And effectively so.
