The GOP was always going to attack Obama on his lack of national security cred, and his failing to have subcommittee hearings will tie in nicely with that.

I also think that Obama's Harry and Louise ad hurts him more than it hurts her, although I think whichever Dem is the nominee will face attacks on that front.  Hillary is just better able to make the case for her plan than Obama is for his - and his own ad will appear to be more of the say-one-thing-and-do-another that seems to be emerging as a pattern of his.

I think Obama has made enough mistakes of late that the GOP may not need to dip too far into Dem-on-Dem attacks to get a strong anti-Obama campaign going.

Obama counters the experience argument with "judgement." And perhaps that will be the winning argument in both the primaries and the GE.

But, I think there is another aspect of experience that hasn't gotten much discussion -- how it relates to trust. At issue isn't just the candidate's "on the job" experience and what that means in terms of what he knows about doing the job, but also, perhaps even more important, the voters' experience with the candidate. A longer public record means there's more information for a voter to use in making their judgement about the candidate and his commitment to, or lack of action on, the issues they think are most important.

I think it is an argument, but not an "attack," to say "my opponent has less experience than me" and therefore you can trust me more in a crisis. But, it is an attack to say my opponent, as a person, is less trustworthy than me.

CIC will be used against both of them, lack of experience for both, too emotional for HRC, BHO dreamy liberal latte sipper.

"Change" = empty rhetoric, against Obama, which will backfire imo, given it's McBush.

Clinton dynasty meme.

Post-partisanship and all of that garbage. McCain can easily use that. He's a maverick, you know.

Even further after that ad Obama will be in the position that he either has to concede the issue or belittle (swiftboat) McCain's military service. Do we really want to go there? Will John Kerry stand by and watch it happen?

Some Rove 527 may run with the "not as far as I know" comment, saying that even Clinton doesn't know for sure that Obama is not Muslim.

An ad will feature Bill Clinton using the words "fairy tale."

Clips of Hillary's "speeches don't matter, results matter." Cut to McCain's list of bipartisan bills to tout his "change" creds.

Clips of Hillary talking about Obama's "slum landlord Rezko."

Clips of Clintons accusing Obama of saying "Republicans had best ideas." They will also run ads featuring his actual comments, too, to note McCain's participation as a Reagan foot soldier.

Ads featuring Clinton mocking Obama's inspirational qualities.

Man, she has provided tons of material.

I don't believe she will be the nominee, but I really doubt that they'll use him against her.
Frankly, they have file cabinets full of attacks on the Clintons. Obama is not really useful in that arena. Well, you're right about the forcing people to buy insurance. And Plouffe calling her "the most secretive politician." That will just foment the Clinton distrust, revving up the GOP base.

The same reasoning applies if Clinton is the nominee, and so far the only Obama attacks are either the character issues (anything to win, racism) or the Republican attacks (Harry & Louise).
