I tried to post a comment that Bush needs to get out in front on the OBL tape and answer the MSM spin directly. I was accused of being a troll and my post eventually got pulled for the reason "Get A Grip" I guess FR is not a place to discuss Bush's campaign strategy or to debate the best ways to win. I hope Bush is leading by 15 points among early voters and I hope he landslides on Nov. 2 but Republican timidity in campaign tactics is and will continue to be a problem. As leaders they're great, as aggressive campaigners I have my doubts.
Republican timidity in campaign tactics is and will continue to be a problem.
Oh, yea, one of my favorite topics: "Republican timidity." Let's see, we had Herbert Hoover, Alf Landon, Wendell Willkie, Thomas E. Dewey, Richard M. Nixon, Gerald R. Ford, GHWB. It is a pretty long list.
The bolder candidates tended to have better success at the polls: Eisenhower, Reagan. Of course, Goldwater could be in the "bold" camp, but he frightened people and was never taken seriously.
I just hate seeing the GOP leave unusued ammunition on the floor.
