This is my suggestion for the next line of attack. It would certainly be best coming from Hillary, but it probably works otherwise, too:

"After observing Sen. Obama throughout this past year, I can now unequivocally say that I have come to see him as an extraordinarily capable leader. He has the intellect, strategic ability and temperament to successfully lead our military as well as the civilian government.

John McCain has also apparently stepped over the Commander-in-Chief threshold. The problem is that John McCain was going the wrong way. Years ago, John McCain seemed like a person who could  have succeeded in the highest office. The past eight years, however, John McCain has repeatedly failed American troops and American families, all the while growing more agitated and quicker to take stands without considering the consequences. The John McCain of today is no longer able to serve Americans as we need.

Years ago, John McCain seemed to be a friend of the military. The past eight years, however, John McCain has consistently voted against veterans and active-duty troops, and against aiding soldiers' families. All veterans' groups give John McCain poor or failing grades, whereas Sen. Barack Obama has exemplary grades from the same groups. Currently serving soldiers know this, and they have supported Barack Obama's campaign 6-to-1. Our troops, veterans and their families see through the John McCain talk, and see his actual horrible record of neglecting the soldiers.

Years ago, John McCain seemed to be in favour of women's right of self-determination. The past eight years, however, he has repeatedly tried to gain more control over women and now he says he would take the unconstitutional step of getting Roe vs. Wade repealed except when in front of independent voters, when the double-talk express goes in overdrive to distract from his record.

[Add more similar examples.]"

Obviously fact-check claims etc. and develop some soundbites for ads but I think this would work.

Thoughts?
