Andy Lewis' Blog - August 2008
I had a conversation with a representative of the Obama campaign a few minutes ago which left me horrified.
I asked why the Obama campaign wasn't fighting back in the face of all these despicible lies McCain was telling. I told her I thought that Obama was throwing this thing away. I was told that "we don't believe in fighting." I was told that "that's not the kind of change we believe in."
I hung up the phone feeling like I had just spoken with a couple of people who were disconnected from reality, and who had no idea what they were up against. I felt as if these people are in a bubble, surrounded by positive vibes, and that they have no clue about the fact that they're in a street fight. I'm very afraid that if this attitude pervades the campaing, that Obama doesn't have a chance.
Just wanted to share that with you.

My friend has tickets to see the taping of Washington Week this week in Denver, and asked me to suggest questions for her to ask Ms. Ifill.
I've got a few, but if anybody can post any better ones here, we'd appreciate the suggestions.
Thanks,
A
