Imperative Strategy

For Obama to remain true to my ideal of himself, he needs to run an ad in which he
1. Points out that negative campaign ads are unethical,
2. Apologizes to McCain for Obama-sponsored negative ads, and pledges their end,
3. States that the McCain campaign has been horrible to Obama’s character, and
4. Forgives McCain for his role in such ads.

After the ad has begun running, Obama should
1. Call every presidential candidate to cease all campaign advertising–no fliers, no TV or Internet ads, nothing–and
2. Meet daily with McCain and the other candidates to discuss and debate–not just to answer questions, but truly to debate–current issues on live TV, Internet, and radio.

That would be most presidential.
