You're still killing me. There seems to be three more simple ideas that you fail to grasp:
1. Sarah Palin isn't the one running for President, so stop wasting time and resources on her. Every time you go through the minutia about what may or may not have happened with "troopergate," "bridge to nowhere," or whatever, I start banging my head against my desk. She's like Teflon. Even if everything you're ranting about is actually true, none of it's going to stick. You already lost your credibility when it comes to her with the stupid ass attacks on her family so even if you have anything legitimate to say (which you probably do), people have tuned you out. The more Democrats and the media attack her, the more people like her.
Besides why focus on her when you have John McCain who was one of the Keating Five to rake over the coals? The dude should have gone to prison over that and probably would have if he wasn't a war hero. And now he's running as fighting corruption and bringing reform to Washington and none of you bring this up? WTF? Stop with the stupid cracks about lipstick, the bullshit about her qualifications and all the other stuff and focus on the guy that's actually on the top of the ticket.
2. The attitude of "OMG rednecks, why don't you know that we're best for you, you stupid assholes? Vote for us now, plz!" is going to alienate more people than it will win over. This kind of condescension and class warfare is why you lost the last election.
3. Hollywood stars ranting and raving on your behalf only reinforces the idea that Hollywood/blue states/liberal media/Washington are out of touch. Explain to them that they are not helping and put a freaking muzzle on them.
Stop dicking around. You're missing the forest for the trees and it's painful to watch.

In certain ways, McCain was a natural Web candidate. Chairman of the Senate Telecommunications Subcommittee and regarded as the U.S. Senate’s savviest technologist, McCain is an inveterate devotee of email. His nightly ritual is to read his email together with his wife, Cindy. The injuries he incurred as a Vietnam POW make it painful for McCain to type. Instead, he dictates responses that his wife types on a laptop. “She’s a whiz on the keyboard, and I’m so laborious,” McCain admits.
Honestly, that's just tacky (or at the very least really bad research) on the Obama campaign's part. Plus the fact that there are a lot of older people who don't use the internet, but that might get offended by that add. Pissing off a voting block by making cracks about age just doesn't make much strategic sense to me.

And you're right about pissing off a demographic. However, having seen the ad, I don't remember it specifically attacking McCain because of his age.
In good news: Obama apparently does have something to attack McCain with. Karl Rove said McCain's attacks were too "dishonest."

Heh, I got a big kick out of that. You know the end times are coming when Democrats and Karl Rove are on the same side.
