Tie MoveOn.org around Hillary's neck was one goal. Project
their candidate as the leader of the party against the liberal
extremists in and out of Congress was another goal. First were the
swipes in radio interviews. Then the NY Times ad. Now a web ad. This is
what another commentator said "is how the game is played." So who got the most
mileage out of this week-- the leader of the surge strategy
(McCain) or Rudy? Close, but media saturation and focused messaging
works so based on execution of a communications plan I'd give it to
Rudy. Now beginning with the actual debate McCain will get plenty
of attention and rightly so. For now, Thompson and Romney seem to
have gotten out maneuvered and are struggling to maintain
visibility in the anti-MoveOn.org campaign.
