Spencer Ackerman has a good prep piece for the coming muddy-onslaught from McSame and the Mall Rat.

I say: fine. If the McCain campaign wants a war -- if it wants to get filthy -- then progressives should give them what they want. For everything underhanded they throw at Obama, the response needs to be a relentless counterassault. The goal should not simply be to defeat McCain. It should be to destroy his reputation forever...

So that's a proposed strategic overview. How to get here from there? This Rolling Stone piece that Megan Carpentier flagged might be a good start. Or maybe a frame like: John McCain, too chickenshit to go after bin Laden in Pakistan. Thoughts?

I think this strategy from us in the blogosphere is dead on target. And the great thing is we don't need to lie about anything to highlight McCain's inconsistencies, lies, temperament and out of control obsession with becoming president.
