Exactly the *Wrong* Strategy

Opper - I really disagree. I think that if, as early as August, Obama went savage on McCain the attacks would backfire (much as Senator Clinton's attacks on Obama backfired on her during the primaries).

Much of the convention and the weeks afterward still must be used to introduce the man to the millions upon millions of voters that didn't pay any attention during the primaries or over the summer. If that introduction is perceived as being of a negative person, it will hurt him, not help him.

No, no, no: A brother should not ask for a presidential candidate to serve his desires and whims. However, if you really feel that way, there are scores of bloggers out there that vehemently disagree with me. They're wrong too.

Our Policy on Comment Submissions: Co-publishers of Narco News (which includes The Narcosphere and The Field) may post comments without moderation. All co-publishers comment under their real name, have contributed resources or volunteer labor to this project, have filled out this application and agreed to some simple guidelines about commenting.

Narco News has recently opened its comments section for submissions to moderated comments (that’s this box, here) by everybody else. More than 95 percent of all submitted comments are typically approved, because they are on-topic, coherent, don’t spread false claims or rumors, don’t gratuitously insult other commenters, and don’t engage in commerce, spam or otherwise hijack the thread. Narco News reserves the right to reject any comment for any reason, so, especially if you choose to comment anonymously, the burden is on you to make your comment interesting and relevant. That said, as you can see, hundreds of comments are approved each week here. Good luck in your comment submission!
