Edwards then tries to do the exact same thing using his wife, family and his dedication to them as a pivotal part of his image which we now see as another “big lie”.
Obama will be done in by his “big lie” strategy also
They believe you can portray yourself in a manner 180 degrees from reality and the American people will be stupid to see through the mask.
The last person to get away with this strategy was Billy Clinton. That was pre-internet. It is much more difficult now.
In order for a person to win while using this strategy, the opposing person must be someone to vote against. Obama could get away with it this time because McCain keeps jabbing the conservatives.
Note however that I said Obama could win because of the anti-McCain vote, but that is despite the 180 degrees out from reality campaign that normally would not succeed.
I think this is more of a Clinton pay back than anything else. Look at the timing of this...just a couple of weeks ago Johnny and Barry were being buds in LA, w/some internet chatter of the Silky One being the Chosen One’s VP...then...all of this comes out COURTESY OF THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER. The NE...the Clinton friendly NE. Maybe this was a warning...’look how easy we got the dirt out on Edwards.’
