Not arguing it is difficult, but we had a wildly unpopular president with low numbers, unpopular signature legislation, and a terrible economic situation. A year ago, we started letting him off the mat. This year, we let him repaint an imaginary recovery despite the fact that the situation has been worsening. Last year better than this. Numbers trending worse each month of the spring and summer. We didn’t show this to the American people, while he was running display ads all over the internet showing the job turnaround.
Our side needs to play ball 365 days a year. We never learn. It is even more important for our side to do it than theirs, as we don’t have the media juggernaut.
should have said ‘Not arguing it isn’t difficult’ in my post above.
Frank Luntz said it best, “It’s wasn’t about the issues. Obama used the voter’s feelings to define Romney and it worked.”
