If I were running the campaigns from now until Election Day, I would...

1. Promote Barack Obama every chance I had, pound away at the horrendous economic mistakes the Republicans have made over the past 8 years, and link every one of those errors to John McCain

2. Minimize the role Joe Biden played on the campaign trail and script him every step of the way

3. Promote Sarah Palin every chance I had, ditch the script she's been working on, use her to attract moms and Independents, and label Obama as a tax-and-spend liberal

4. Use John McCain to demonstrate that the bailout bill will be a bit like an Obama presidency -- one crisis after another -- and offer reassurance that he's the steady hand needed in times of uncertainty
