It's a two-pronged approach: positive with the business community, negative with party attacks on McCain.
The Obama campaign shipped in Chicagoan Ian Bassin to serve as their Florida policy wonk. Earlier this week, Bassin met with Chamber of Commerce, Economic Development, and space industry business officials in Cocoa Beach, Fl. Then he headed to one of the popular space center bars to hang out with space workers, he said.
The Democratic party, meanwhile, slipped into the pit bull role. Aware that McCain offers real beef in his readily-available space program policy, while Obama's been a little light on the mayo-and-mustard of space, the Demos let fly with insults.
The Florida Demos, seeking to curry favor with its space industry, said that McCain had gone from "downright schizophrenic" to outright delusional” in his statements on space.
It's beginning to sound like Ralph Kramden's "to the moon, Alice" type of fist-waving rhetoric from the Demos as the crunch points of conventions are at hand.
