Memo to the McCain Campaign

Your mission is to recapture the initiative within a week by changing tactics. What you’re doing isn’t working. You need a surge, and soon. So how do you do that? Run new ads? Folks are weary of ads. That won’t help. Hold press conferences to state positions? The old big media won’t cover them. You’ll be talking into a vacuum. Wait for the next debate? Forget about it.

NYC Chinatown Donorgate Under-Covered

To date, here's how major newspapers have covered the NYC Chinatown Donorgate story: October 19: The Los Angeles Times reported that the Clinton campaign received $380,000 from poor Chinese living in largely ethnic New York City neighborhoods -- one is heavily populated by "recent immigrants from Fujian Province." One-third of 150 donors could not be located; many gave false addresses. Other donors found and interviewed gave varying motives for their contributions. "Many said they gave to Clinton because they were instructed to do so by local association leaders." Some cited an interest in immigration issues. One donor was proud to have had his picture taken with Mrs. Clinton -- he sent it home to China.
