Obama won because he was not Bush or the third term of Bush as represented by McCain. The "Anybody but Bush" campaign by the Dems was very effective. We must make this a referendum on Obama and his policies.

What I would like to see are more attacks against Obama's personal narrative. They would reasonate. Poll after poll indicates how many people have doubts about Obama's religion, birth certificate, associations with the likes of Ayers and Rev. Wright etc. Obama is very vulnerable there and it will get him off his game in much the same way that the Swift Boat vets for Truth froze Kerry like a deer in the headlights for almost a month. Romney doesn't have to do it, but he could use surrogates like the SuperPacs to go after Obama.

The Obama campaign had no compunction about attacking Romney over Bain and his tax returns and there is an undercurrent of anti-Mormon attacks. Romney should not act like McCain. Nothing should be off limits given the stakes in this election. The survival of this country will hinge on the results. This is our last shot.

“The “Anybody but Bush” campaign by the Dems was very effective. “

Actually President Bush won reeelection in 2004 in spite of the most vicious smear attack in history. For weeks before the election, every left-winger on the web KNEW that Bush would lose because they in the left-wing echo chamber kept telling each other that he was the worst president ever. There were never a more surprised group of people on the morning after the election, when Bush had won.
