Obama as the General Election Candidate: "Wanna Rumble?"
Quote from a fundraiser, yesterday I believe, in Philly:
“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” Obama said. “Because from what I understand folks in Philly like a good brawl."
Any comments from you guys?
I think it's fab...and the beginning of "Barry" poking his head through the shroud of "Barack."
This is the kind of Trumanesque rhetoric that's going to bring more and more "average folks" onto his bandwagon.

Wasn't it in Philly that the Carville meme got around that characterised Obama as missing in the cojones department?

In the brawl of ideas, McCain is bringing only a pea shooter and Obama is toting a howitzer.

What happened to the "new kind of politics"? Isn't this the "politics of division" of the past?

I hope Obama is referring to battling the slime and falsehoods that the swiftboaters will be (already are) putting out there. Of course, McCain is on record saying he cannot stop others from doing this, so he is just an innocent bystander - I'm sure he will be the perfect example of fairness, honesty and above board campaigning. Aren't you?!?

I know you mean it encouragingly, but based on what he himself has written, Obama prefers being called Barack by far.
