I agree. Sure, he could improve his campaigning, but he's toughened up his rhetoric and is taking some good shots.
Obama has peaked. Watch his face; listen to his tone. He is a sourpuss who drones on uninspiringly. Sure, he'll get bounce from the convention and he's got the black vote, but he's not only worrying voters, he BORING them.
Mad Jon has an odd style of campaigning, he doesn’t pander per se, he picks off voting blocks, his lethargy is not so much that as he is taking his time talking with people and winning some of them over, by no means all.
Mad Jon’s path to victory is the White Male Vote, older Woman, and then 40% here and 40% there and just doing a bit better then one would think he does.
I don’t think he will have coattails, but he could win with that strategy, sort of a Southern Strategy, but only nicer.
If he goes left or middle of the road I think he eats it.
If he picks a strong conservative (who might that be??? - John Bolton would be something...) conservatives will be better able to stomach voting for him.
WAtch his head swivel from side to side when he speechafies...He never stops and looks at the crowd in the middle (he's not looking at them from side to side either) - that's because he's reading the TelePrompters on the right and the left.
He looks like someone watching a tennis match.
I would love to see one teleprompter malfunction and watch his reaction.
First, a look of confusion, then a bit of panic, then a whole lot of uh uh uh's while he found his place on the one working prompter - and then focused totally on that one - no more moving head.
We need to FREEP Rush, Hannity and Brit - let them point out how his head swings back and forth like a bobble head.
Thereafter, anytime he speaks, people won't hear what he's saying. They'll be too busy laughing/
In Hollywood, the conventional wisdom is that Obama will win by such a landslide that the cognoscenti have already moved on to other things; the election is over. America has been transformed. The libs are congratulating themselves on their victory. They are planning the second term. At last! Deliverance!
