>>... he resorts to low tactics which connect to main stream America. Obama has to do the same, but being a decent Christian he takes the high road. He can become John Kerry II (or Al Gore III). Bet he won't take that advice. Proof: he keeps adulating McCain as the war hero, he said McCain is legendary, and people worship legends. Whose fault is it? Obama...<<

I must respectfully disagree. Obama has to stay who he is.

Continuing to praise McCain as a was hero is not only the decent thing to do, it's also going to become an extremely effective tactic.
People worship legends, but they also turn on them very quickly when those 'legends' let them down. Look how the media is beginning to change in its treatment of McCain.
The democrat line (which also has the benefit of being true) is going to be that McCain may have been a war hero, but he has changed.
McCain has disgraced himself in the last couple of weeks, and uncommitted people are beginning to realise it.

You really want Obama to start talking about how McCain's war service has always been overhyped, how he abandoned his first wife, how his academic record sucks ?

That would just be silly.
