The Occasional Observer

It’s too bad you didn’t listen to your critics earlier, O. When you run a campaign with a primary theme as nebulous as “change,” your opponent can co-opt your message quickly and easily.

And particularly when your opponent is McCain-Palin.

And BTW, I thought this ad was the most direct embrace yet of the Sarkozy/Gingrich model, embracing the anti-incumbency feeling in the electorate:

"He battled Republicans, and reformed Washington."
"She battled Republicans, and reformed Alaska."

If I was running as a down-ticket Republican, I might not be quite as happy with the ad.
