Rasmussen shows him gaining in support and he does...

You claim this trend shows Obama "gaining support"?

(scratching head...)

About 3 days ago Obama was at -20 and now he is at -12, where is this coming from????????????????

Here is the most recent:

My point is this: No need to get personal when he is already down. Job performance is one thing. Personal attacks are another. Nobody is going to elect you as a Congressman in Ohio or Michigan because Obama plays too much golf, her butt is too fat, they take too many vacations or that he 'might' be a Muslim... etc.

Candidates need to stay on THEIR issue based message. They do not need to chime in on every topic of the day like Rush and Hannity do.

And yes.... NEGATIVE ADS are ok, but keep them related to job duties and job performance.

There is a difference between: "You policies allowed Willie Horton to get out of prison and kill again" vs. "You wife Kitty is an alcoholic plus I heard you had an affair with your staffer."

As much as I would like to unload on the worthless scum dumbcrats Pence is right...hold your ammunition because we on FR preach to the choir. The dumba$$es that call themselves independents will not be influenced by calling dumbcrats worthless MF’s or zero a muslim plant...although that may becoming more apparent to them each day.....an Iraqi businessman taught me a valuable lesson years ago....”Kill the bastards with kindness”....something that over the years I have had trouble doing at times....LOL

Candidates need to stay on THEIR issue based message.

The comparison/contrast arguments between their policies and our policy proposals are absolutely necessary, even if the discussion stays at the higher level, as opposed to the nuts and bolts level.

A great majority of people are acutely aware that things are drastically wrong and getting worse by the day. There is nothing wrong with Republican candidates explaining that this is due to Democrat policies (since January 2007) and that there is a better way to govern.

I explained it in detail and referenced the days which represented his polling results. Rasmussen, unlike gallup, polls constantly and runs a three day rolling average. The days referenced and his polling results for those days are posted in a previous response.

I agree.
