I think he has to put forward those differences more aggressively even though that is a fine line with his Republican base that he has to manage. The other prong of that attack has to be convincing voters that Obama is not the change he pretends to be. Mac has to play both of those cards; I think he has been doing some of that. He needs to do more. I think the MI poll reflects the big problem Mac has nationwide—convincing voters that he will be a change from Republican Bush policies.
