so, what youre saying is that in POTUS politics, when a candidate has an actual, demonstrable record, that eventually the candidate will have to run on that record, and try to convince everyone that the warts are are really beauty marks ???
do this hold true even when the revelations of past *accomplishments* do more harm than good ???
need to find my memory-hole...
Yes, I believe the prior strategy of ‘ don't talk about what I did in MA, and don't give details about what I will do if elected, just talk about the bad economy 24/7.’ was a doomed one from the start. It assumed that Obama wouldn't aggressively attack his character, wouldnt fill in the details themselves and that the MSM wouldnt start reporting good economic news before the election.
Look at what Romney was trying to get across with this message, that he is compassionate. His campaign knows the 47% video hurt him bad and this is a response to that.
Romney just is the wrong candidate for this time. I am not even going to join in criticizing him for this statement, he is in a box.
