A few journalists/editorialists advise the Democratic Party to respond aggressively to negative attacks on Barack Obama's character:
- Hendrick Hertzbert, "Attackdog Days," in the Comment column of The New Yorker, September 1, 2008.
- Paul Krugman, "Accentuate the Negative," in The New York Times, August 24, 2008.
How about hitting back on judgment? John McCain questions Barack Obama's judgment as a potential president? How about his own judgment? In 2001, he said that if he had been president, he also would have chosen Dick Cheney as vice-president and Donald Rumsfeld as Secretary of Defense. (Hat tip to Matthew Yglesias for that link to Jed Lewison's blog, The Jed Report.)
I'm just glad to see the Democrats going on the offensive for a change!
