Be really happy that you don't get these e-mail 'press releases' from the campaigns. Frankly, I don't see why they waste the bandwidth doing them. But Tom Regan at NPR's News blog has an absolute classic from the Obama campaign. They drop the diss bomb on Camp Clinton with a blow-by-blow return of fire utterly demolishing a Clinton e-mailer sent out Wednesday.
Just a taste (original Clinton e-mail in plain text with Obama campaign response in brackets in bold):
This is not a strategy that can beat John McCain in November.
[I don't think Clinton's strategy of losing in state after state after promising more of the same politics is working all that well either.]
Ouch. I think I agree with Patrick in the comments:
I think this is a great example of the generational divide between the two campaigns. This is the off the cuff, casual, twitter style commentary that is the main mode of communication in "Web 2.0" It seems like one of my friends could have written it!
I'll include an Olbermann-esque disclaimer: This is not an endorsement of the Obama campaign. I applaud all interjections of humour into campaigning. Yes, this election is serious, but let's not make it too serious.
