From the page: "In a Washington Post interview this morning, Rick Davis, John McCain's campaign manager, said that 'this election is not about issues - [It] is about a composite view of what people take away from these candidates.' Okay, this sounds really, really bad - and it is. Davis is admitting that Republicans don't focus on issues, but personalities. Indeed, this has long been a go-to strategy for the GOP. Republicans effectively framed Dukakis as a weakling by pounding away at his seeming lack of fortitude; Clinton was nailed as being 'Slick Willie' and a dishonest womanizer; Kerry was supposedly an effeminate snob; and now they're telling us that Obama is an un-American 'celebrity.'" - William Harryman
