    Terry Madonna should be running Obama's campaign!!! Obama needs to be more specific about retraining the American worker, reinvesting in American jobs, pulling back troops from overseas (saving a ton of defense dollars in the process), and providing universal health care to all Americans. He also needs to show that he is going to work hard to get sixty Dems in the Senate and a bigger majority of Dems in the House. If he does all that, he doesn't even need to talk about McCain.

    The campaigns are one way that voters get to shape issues and to get answers to their questions and concerns. The length of the campaign allows for more concerns to be addressed and for specifics to be discussed regarding policies and approaches and how they will impact different groups of voters. Democrat and Republican party leadership and campaign managers have their ideas about how things should be, but the voters are the ones who will decide who best represents their needs and their beliefs. Clearly blue collar voters are not satisfied with Obama's approach to their problems. Continuing this campaign provides the time to listen to the direction from the voters regarding what they see as important.
