The Sunday political talk shows deliver debate, if nothing else. They are produced, booked, written and hard-wired for a relentless back and forth. Thus this exchange from ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” was remarkable in its unanimity — journalists, conservative pundits and lone Democrat Donna Brazile all agreeing that Sen. John McCain is a political and policy disaster on the economy.
The assessments were biting, too. Conservative stalwart George Will said McCain substituted “vehemence for coherence” in calling for the firing of SEC Chairman Chris Cox, a move Will labeled “un-presidential.”
Sam Donaldson said McCain sounded so off-message that “age” was back on the table.
A four-minute clip of the show is currently one of the most popular political videos on YouTube. The Obama campaign is sending reporters shorter Youtube soundbite clips of each rebuke. “In case you missed it, here are some of the highlights,” promises the Obama communique.
As the saying goes, with pundits like these…

McCain needs to shore up his base if this is their response. On the other hand, a true friend is one that finally reaches a point of saying, “dude, you're full of it, stop drinking!” We'll have to see how the McCain campaign responds outside of whining about the media.

Change you can trust, a slogan that could turn around McCain's campaign?
Change you can trust contrasts beautifully with change you can believe in.
Everyone wants change, only with a team that we can trust to implement it.
If you're in a tough spot, you want someone to come to help you that you can trust, not someone you believe may want to help you.
John McCain, polls show, is rated as highly qualified and highly trusted. This slogan, change you can trust, reinforces this message.
It can even be added on to John McCain’s current slogan. Country first, change you can trust. Or perhaps Change you can trust that puts Country first. Or how about Change you can trust that puts America first
It implies without directly saying it that the other side is perhaps a little less trustworthy.
It also reinforces the message that in a time we were facing battle with Al Qaeda worldwide and two conventional wars, John McCain is a commander in chief you can trust to lead us to victory.
There are 30 days left before Election Day. Sarah Palin’s debate performance was good, but it's really up to John McCain to win.
CHANGE You Can TRUST
CHANGE You Can TRUST to put COUNTRY FIRST
CHANGE You Can TRUST to put AMERICA FIRST
CHANGE – TRUST
COUNTRY FIRST
John, are you listening???
