Sen. Obama shows "New Politics" of "Hope" and "Change" are substantially like "Old Politics" of subtle smears...
Sen. Obama decided yesterday to say "John McCain was 'losing his bearings' for repeatedly suggesting the Islamic terrorist group Hamas preferred Obama for president."
The Democrats -- including surrogates such as Howard Dean -- have already repeatedly raised Sen. McCain's age as a central issue in the general election. I would contend that this is on par with raising Sen. Obama's race. Age and race may be an issue to some people, but it is completely beneath a respectful campaign for official surrogates (and absolutely/completely below the candidate themselves) to raise this, subtly or directly.
I call on all Obama supporters and all Democrats to reject this sort of old school Chicago-style gutter politics. Sen. Obama should apologize today for this sort of rookie stunt... and he should do it in person.
This is the letter Mark Salter released in response. This kind of business (the issues of age and race) should be left to comedians and late night talk show hosts, and should not be the topic of conversation of national elected officials, the Chair of the DNC or Sen. Obama himself.
Shame on them...

The bloom is off the rose...
I've generally stayed away from criticism of the candidates in the Democratic race -- maybe waiting until there is a nominee -- but this statement is ridiculous...
New kind of politics? Hardly...

Perfect response, in honor of all those "bitter" folks in America...
With a major hat-tip to my blog hero Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit, McCain has a ready made commercial from Hank Williams Jr. He could simply run this unedited and watch the support roll in from the key battleground states.
As a kid from suburban Kansas City, I just watched it and it strikes a chord...
A bit more uplifting version, that also hits the note is this one by Trace Adkins. As Mr. Instapundit says: while I would bet a million dollars that nearly every one of the "bitter" Americans would say hell yeah that song is about me, I can imagine the elites who look down upon ordinary Americans wouldn't have the first idea what in the world they are "clinging" to in this song, or what Trace is talking about...
