Hugh Hewitt at Townhall has the best post up so far deconstructing the Democrat National television Commerical (DNtC), and how the Republicans can take advantage of their missed opportunities.
A few excerpts:
If the Republicans are smart next week, they will talk endlessly about victory, energy, and character. The GOP has the luxury of an extremely well-known candidate in McCain, and of no psycho-drama of the deposed first couple plotting for a return in 2012. If its speakers set up the ball every night, all of the talking heads will have to talk about what they talk about –which should be victory and energy, along with Bill Ayers, Tony Rezko, Jeremiah Wright and the Born Alive Infant Protection Act.
The networks ignored the two huge stories swirling around Denver –the unfolding developments around the Ayers-Obama relationship and the unprecedented rebuke of Nancy Pelosi by the American Roman Catholic Church leadership. MSM was watching Hillary so closely that they couldn’t see the shape of the campaign ahead being deeply impacted by these two key stories. Like John Kerry’s “Christmas Eve in Cambodia” drama of last summer, the MSM will be amazed and surprised as these stories grow and become hugely important to millions of voters in the fall.
The RNC really needs to beat up Pelosi, Barack, and the Dems for their lies on abortion. This needs to be the message:
This may be above Obama’s pay grade, but an outraged and energized Catholic leadership will not let the Mass-attending faithful be deceived by fast-talking pols who want to pas themselves off as “ardent, practicing Catholics” while distorting crystal clear Church teaching.
CNN can chose to ignore the abortion issue, just as it ignored the controversy four years ago over whether Kerry had ever been to Cambodia. MSNBC can ignore Ayers (though it is much more likely to hire him as a co-host with Keith in order to bring some moderation to the set). The nets cannot suffocate an issue.
The line about a far-Left radical domestic terrorist bomber needing to be brought in to bring some moderation to Keith Olbermann’s show would be much funnier if it weren’t true.

Fact check . org confirmed that Obama did not tell the truth about his vote in Illinois concerning the Born Alive Infants Act:

But of course this has not hit the msm either.
So Hewitt suggests character assassination? Big surprise- it’s not as if McCain was going to run on ideas.
First of all, one must have good character to have it assassinated, so B-HO is safe on that aspect.
The other thing is, Hugh Hewitt is talking strategy, and about exploiting the glaring deceits and weaknesses that B-HO presents his opponents on a sterling silver serving tray, complete with doilies.
