Obama: "For at least a year now, I have called for two additional brigades, perhaps three," he told CBS. "I think it's very important that we unify command more effectively to coordinate our military activities." CNN Obama on Afghanistan

Guess what.. Calling for more troops IS a surge! Biden knocked his own guy! Of course, Palin should have jumped on this. Obama has been calling for a surge in Afghanistan for months, and then, Senator Biden tried to cream Palin and McCain for them calling for more troops there also. Maybe he should tell Obama what he told the debate audience.

Remember Biden going off on McCain in the debate? Senator Biden had a laundry list of things he said McCain had done wrong. This is from the debate transcript:

Biden: "Look, the maverick -- let's talk about the maverick John McCain is. And, again, I love him. He's been a maverick on some issues, but he has been no maverick on the things that matter to people's lives.
- He voted four out of five times for George Bush's budget, which put us a half a trillion dollars in debt this year and over $3 trillion in debt since he's got there.
- He has not been a maverick in providing health care for people. He has voted against -- he voted including another 3.6 million children in coverage of the existing health care plan, when he voted in the United States Senate. - He's not been a maverick when it comes to education. He has not supported tax cuts and significant changes for people being able to send their kids to college.
- He's not been a maverick on the war. He's not been a maverick on virtually anything that genuinely affects the things that people really talk about around their kitchen table." From: CNN Debate Transcript

Now, I wonder why Senator Biden didn't bring these things up when he said he would be happy to be John's running mate? Here's the quote:

Biden: "I would be honored to run with or against John McCain, because I think the country would be better off." From: CNN Biden/McCain running mate

Of course, Palin should have picked up on this too and hammered Biden in the debate. First time jitters for Palin? I guess so. McCain's advisors need to JUMP on some of these obvious points and start talking about them in the media. I don't know how anyone could miss this. It's time to step the campaign up a notch.
