In my opinion he needs to fire the yes men and start listening to conservatives who aren’t particularly in love with him.
Second that.
I agree with both of you. The other thing he needs to do is amend his election ad to show this image of Obama and Russian leader Dmitry Medvedev :
With these words blazoned on the screen: "This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility."
That image should be prominently featured in all ad campaigns.
I went to a gun show today in Indiana, which was attended by huge crowds. But I was disheartened to see that there were no signs urging patrons to vote for Romney, or at least signs stressing how Obama will be bad for our country. I remember in 2008 how many signs were posted throughout the gun show on how Obama would be a disaster for us.
I talked with some of the senior citizen gun owners there and many told me that they could not vote for either Romney or Obama and intended to stay home on election day. The NRA is ‘all in’ for this election but apparently it does not matter to these seniors. I was told such things as: “Romney will tax the middle class. Romney will cut our benefits - All of the usual Obama scare the seniors propaganda talking points, which are working even better now that Obama is using the line about how Romney does not care about the 47 percent.
Sadly, I fear that it does not look good for us voting Obama out office. There will be no going back after he is re-elected.
We're already into early voting ~ and it's still September, and I don't see any of that saturation.
Guess someone forgot to check on the voting schedule ~ then, I only watch one show on broadcast TV ~ WETA 26 Doctor Who!
We were down to two programs on Cable and just dropped it keeping the internet link and our landline.
My understanding is that less than half the country ever watch broadcast channels anymore whether as local broadcasts or on cable!
Guess somebody forgot to find out where the voters are these days.
One individual along the way noted that Democrat registrations were down since they'd pretty well exhausted their stock of unregistered Democrats just before the 2008 election. Republican registrations are not up to the numbers the Democrats have in any case, and there remain vast numbers of unregistred potential Republican voters. Still waiting on the Republican voter registration campaign ~ oh, too late!
Darn.
There are these folks who claim to be conservatives but they support Mitt and argue that we should vote for him anyway. They think our dispute with him has to do with his ideology ~ whatever that is ~ haven't heard much of it ~ I"m a tax cheat or something ~ yeah, that's it, his ideology is I cheat on my taxes and don't pay any.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Nope the dispute isn't about ideology, or us tossing out the good to wait for the perfect ~ it's about weak campaigner, weaker campaign advisers, even weaker understanding of political theory regarding how you win elections.
It's almost too late, but time for Mitt to bring on the up and coming junior varsity ~ (Conservatives) ~ to play the last half this game. Last time they played, 2010, they had this fantastic victory over the Democrats at the federal and state levels and retook the House and have a Constitutional majority of the legislatures.
He could do worse eh!
Well, he's not likely to equal the 2010 race, but he does need a new team.
Bet he still thinks this race is easy.
The best thing Romney could do, and also the key issue with his campaign. He can't stand his base.
