If Obama Goes Windsurfing in Hawaii, the GOP Will Be There

Apparently Steve Soto over at The Left Coaster was one of the primary Obama kool-aid drinkers.

While Barack Obama heads off for a vacation of fun and sun in Hawaii via a plane inscribed with his very own name and web address, please join me in welcoming Steve Soto back to reality:

The Post story correctly notes that the Obama campaign has eviscerated the Democratic Party's capability and infrastructure to run a Tier Two campaign against McCain by its insistence that all contributions go to Obama and not groups like MoveOn and other outlets that could do media and Truth Squad efforts against McCain. Now defunded at Obama’s order, these groups have left the field of battle, allowing McCain to have a free run of the media to spread a negative campaign from many outlets without fear of an ongoing onslaught from many corners against him and his record. And the only message from Team Obama seems to be that these anonymous critics are simply whiners who have been cut out of the action, and aren’t part of the Kool Kids crowd on the inside who have the inside dope on all the smart things his campaign will be doing in the fall.

This is exactly the crap we heard from Kerry’s people in 2004, about the time they got blindsided by the Swifties and lost the campaign in August.

And what month is it now?

. . When Clinton tried to raise concerns about his electability in a general election due to his relative newness, thin national resume, and yes, celebrity status, she and her team were smeared as running a racist campaign. She still has those concerns, and now do lots of other people, many of whom were only so happy to push her aside for the new face just weeks ago. .

Have a good time in Hawaii Senator; I can assure you that while you'll be vacationing, John McCain will not be, spending the month talking about issues that will decide the election while his surrogates drag you down to his level.
