He's never...You really think Obama is multitasking? He's never done anything in the senate, now is no exception, and he's not exactly putting up a big effort in his campaign. <BR/><BR/>In 1988, Michael Dukakis left his 17 point lead in the polls behind and dove into some murky issues in Massachusetts, where he was still Governor. Some question of whether it was in his best interest to have these nagging problems associated with his name at the time, (Mainly it was what the failing REPUBLICAN economy was doing to his state) but it was the only way he had of remaining in the press.<BR/><BR/>The real story was, his campaign was broke. They stopped campaigning in California altogether, so the Democratic party came up with what was considered the most effective Dukakis spots of the election, satirizing Republican strategists. But after a month out of sight, Dukakis was trailing in the polls, and never caught up.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, God forbid that a politician should ever neglect campaigning and fundraising to deal with a crisis. Next thing you know, they'll start handling ALL the things we elected them to do, and refusing to take a dime.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure Obama will offer an earfull about McCain daring to put the job ahead of a debate.
