For the robocalls to be effective, the Republicans would need Bill
Ayers to plant bombs today and not when Barack Obama was 8 years old.
They need Ayers to plant bombs in key states right now with stickers on
them that say: “I am Barack Obama, and I endorse this bomb.”
But McCain may have found his October surprise after all. In Bensalem,
Pa., on Tuesday, McCain said: “Now, I’m not dumb enough to get mixed up
in a World Series between swing states. But I think I may have detected
a little pattern with Sen. Obama. It’s pretty simple, really. When he’s
campaigning in Philadelphia, he roots for the Phillies, and when he’s
campaigning in Tampa Bay, he ‘shows love’ to the Rays.”
And rumors are now flying that McCain has proof that when Obama was in the second grade he once ate paste.
The Democrats are fearful of all this. The Democrats are always fearful.
“We have been on the precipice of victory before,” Dan Pfeiffer, an
Obama spokesman, told me. “You have never seen a more superstitious
campaign than ours. We do not talk about victory.”
Talk about it, no. Plan for it, yes.
Democrats: "We don't talk about victory."
With less than two weeks to go before Election Day, Democrats' worries rise with Obama's polling numbers.
