That video will send a POWERFUL message to the "independent women" that Obama thought he won over.
Bank on that.
From your lips to the RNC.
We really can't organize our campaigns around this business of going for independents, particularly since they are, at best, fringe voters, or for moderates, who simply do not exist.
The campaign must focus on getting real Republicans as well as Conservatives to vote for our candidate, and on attracting a specific Democrat faction with a policy that grabs their attention.
I propose we go after the YOUTHVOTE ~ the 19 to 34 year olds who are unemployed or marginally employed, who have no credit ratings, or who have enormous education debt they can't repay because there are no good paying jobs to get no matter how well trained you are.
Obama has been beating them down for four years, and now he's sticking $8.00 per gasoline to them.
If you can't get that youth vote, you probably shouldn't be running. The guy from Bain who made his bucks consolidating businesses, and reducing labor costs probably isn't going to pull these folks in ~ particularly no by ridiculing $2.00 per gallon.
