Allow me to repeat myself
A very interesting analysis of the recent tracking polls offers anyone hyperventilating over Obama's recent numbers and imagining a 2004 Kerry redux some comfort - Obama is doing better than Kerry with almost every demographic, and impressively so with up and coming demo groups like young and Latino voters. In fact,there is only one group in which Obama is currently lagging in support compared to four years ago - 65+ voters.
Last month I posted an item on how Obama voted to preserve adequate payments for Medicare providers while McCain a) didn't bother to show up to vote and b) issued a statement afterwards saying he would have opposed the bill (Republicans opposed measures to hit insurance companies to pay for the doc payments).
So, just in case there are any Obama campaign folks out there, let me say it one more time - hit McCain HARD on Medicare. Seniors are reliable voters and they like their Medicare - the ad writes itself, Obama stood up for Medicare while McCain sided with fat cat insurance companies. This one is easy.
