How Barack Obama can get his momentum back: talk about education

I talked last week about the need for Barack Obama to gain the momentum back from John McCain. Obama has been on the defensive whereas McCain, who is on the wrong side on almost every issue, is on the offensive.

But that has also stemmed from a limit to the areas where the presidential discussion has gone so far. Iraq, Afghanistan, and the economy have dominated the discussion.

While we generally think Obama is on the right side of those issues, there will be some segments of the voting public that will disagree.

So a great way for Obama to regain focus is to introduce key topics that matter to Americans in a way that can get them on Obama’s side.

Today, we start the series by focusing on education.
