I think Obama did absolutely the correct thing about Bush's comment. McSame and Bush had obviously co-ordinated the smear, but Obama adroitly turned it back on them, and put McSame right there with the despised Bush, shoulder to shoulder. Things like that show me that Obama is ready for the general election. He's an amazing adept politician.

JF, > I don't think Obama can afford to just let things go for a few days like Kerry did. LOL, I don't think Kerry's problem was that he didn't respond soon enough to political attacks. I think Obama is playing very effective partisan politics, especially with the strong show of unity he's getting from both the Dems and the media. But I also think he exposed a weakness. Luckily for Obama, I think McCain's biggest strength is also his biggest liability, which is foreign policy. Tenchusatsu
