We definitely CAN beat Obama, that’s not a question.
The question is, will we? I put the odds at about 50/50, a bit better than some here, but not good enough.
Here’s what the GOP needs to do to win:
1. Regardless of who ends up the nominee (please not Romney, but, even if it’s him)...stop the infighting now and at the time of the nomination. Vetting is one thing, completely trashing is another.
2. Repeat it after me: So-lynnnnnnn-draaaaaaa. Over and over again. And throw Fast and Furious in there. The public largely doesn’t know what it is, but those who do know aren’t happy about it. It’s our job to make sure the rest of the population learns about these scandals. We have to destroy the notion that Obama’s administration is “scandal free.”
3. Continue pushing back against vote fraud.
Here's my take and I welcome corrections if any of my perceptions are wrong.
We're entering what is going to a be a long-remembered Blue Christmas season. Even here in Texas, vacant stores dot shopping malls. Retailers and families are struggling. All across America, Black Friday shows signs of being anemic at best. Combine that with a cold winter plus soaring heating bills due to DemonRAT anti-domestic energy policies and the Christmas season promises to be memorably bleak indeed.
A very depressing Christmas 2011 will still be top-of-mind by the time decisions are made in fall 2012. This is Obama's economy. He owns it. It will be his undoing.
