Nuclear early, nuclear often
Check out the newest McCain ad.
"He made time to go to the gym, but cancelled a visit with wounded troops. Seems the Pentagon wouldn’t allow him to bring cameras..... McCain, Country First."
(This is a tiny distribution "buzz promoter," shown one time in Denver, and one in Washington DC on Sunday.
Is this a "topic setting ad" for the Sunday shows or an effort to obscure Obama's trip or McCain's seismic shifts on Afghanistan and Iraq policy?)
Do you see Rove protege Steve Schmidt's hand yet?
Remember, McCain was going to run an "honorable" campaign.
Later: Come to find out the "gym visit" was the meeting with US troops in Kuwait.

This has the Rove school all over it.
The truth is that the DoD told Obama he couldn't go to Landstahl.
Slander and distortion.
How long until McCain goes back to Landstahl? Maybe the DNC should put up a clock on their website.
This meme of the anti-military Obama is belied by the enthusiastic reception he got from the troops.
Of course, the use of DoD photos for campaign ads is strictly forbidden, so the use of the 'gym visit' footage in the ad is also forbidden. But what are the significance of DoD regulations when you are putting your country first?

Yeah, I know the story, that's why I'm highlighting this. It's just such an example of knowing falsehood that I thought it captured the new strategy.
And the key really is "McCain, Country First."
For a topline campaign slogan, that's about the dirtiest thing we've seen in a generation.
