None of the above. The people have been exposed to the Obama legend and, as numbers indicate, many have consciously blinded themselves. It’s not that different from 08 really.
I’m reminded of Cassandra, who tried to warn the Trojans of the gift the Greeks left outside their gates. She never even got the chance to say “I told you so”, though, believe me, there’s no consolation in that either.
Negative campaigning won’t do it. Period. It’s a turn-off.
Romney needs to start promising. Actually he must do more than that; he has to evoke an image of a rational government, flourishing economy, equal treatment under law, and peaceful communities, and the real possibility of upward mobility,and the knowledge that effort will be rewarded. He has to present this as a certainty under his leadership—and I stress—make it tangible.
In short, he’s got to do what Reagan did: convince voters that this is still a strong country with enormous resources; that he’ll lift the jack-boot of ‘liberalism’ from our necks. Make the voters see a future.
Voters will move toward a future if they are confident, but they are not going to abandon the familiar for an unknown if they are not, and right now they’re not.
There is only one trick to leadership: you simply take them where they want to go.
Do this now, or else we’ll lose.
I disagree-—there is nothing BUT negative about Bath-House Barry, so include most of it in the R&R campaign. Negative campaigning gets the most attention.
People know R&R can’t turn this mess around for awhile, so they need to scare the sh*t out of the population that doesn’t usually do the research Freepers do-most people are unaware of what’s coming under Barry.
And, start scaring them NOW, because time’s a wastin’.
