sticking to issues in their ads–in distinction to the McBush campaign. Glenn Greenwald has a great column today on the newly Rovian direction of the McCain campaign. The money quote:

It’s long been obvious to everyone outside of The TNR Circle that McCain’s only prospect for winning would be to move the election away from debates over issues (where his positions are widely rejected by the public) and instead demonize Barack Obama as an effete, elitist, effeminate, far Leftist, terrorist-loving radical, and it was equally obvious that McCain — “drooling for power like a fruit bat with rabies,” as Matt Taibbi put it in November, 2006 — would eagerly employ those Rovian tactics.

Love Taibbi’s “drooling for power like a fruit bat with rabies”–my new life goal is to find ten occasions when I can use that quote each day for the next week.
