University of Virginia political guru Dr. Larry J. Sabato tells Newsmax that President Barack Obamas re-election machine has launched an anti-Mitt Romney campaign that wont stop attacking the former Massachusetts governor until Election Day 2012.
They are unloading on him early, and will never stop until Election Day, Sabato tells Newsmax. Now, if they can damage Romney early and get a weaker general election opponent like [former House Speaker] Newt Gingrich, they'll be delighted.
His remarks came as the Romney campaign fired back Wednesday at allegations they had distorted Obamas words for a campaign ad running in New Hampshire.
Romney's campaign said it will not pull a television ad criticized for being dishonest in its use of an out-of-context quote by Obama.
Gail Gitcho, communications director for the Romney, said the campaign stands by the ad, which shows Obama speaking during the 2008 presidential race.
In the clip, Obama said, "If we keep talking about the economy, we are going to lose." The ad appears to be an admission that his stewardship of the economy is failing.

“Several political analysts have speculated that with unemployment at historically high levels, President Barack Obamas only realistic path back to the presidency is a bare-knuckled campaign disparaging his Republican opponent. Such a strategy would be designed to shift public attention off the dismal economy, and raise fears the GOP alternative could be too risky.”
Let’s see what Romney is made of. If he has any balls he will fight back on Barry twice as hard because if he doesn’t he will go down in flames.
It hasn’t started yet, or I’m missing something.
More pure BS from Larry. Obama would love to have Romney as the opponent.
“If he has any balls he will fight back on Barry twice as hard because if he doesnt he will go down in flames.”
Barry can obtain all the ammo he needs right here on this site. P.S. Romney can, too.
“It hasnt started yet, or Im missing something.”
Be patient - here we go
All Romney has to do is study the horrible, ridiculous, bigoted, creepy, ignorant statements about him on this site - and his campaign will have a heads-up on anything Barry can dish out. Priceless.
Not yet pulled; not yet banned. Maybe there’s hope for free speech yet.
Earth to the Obamaloon, don’t waste your time.
Since we hate RINOmney almost as much as we hate, dispise, loathe, and spit on you, we won’t vote for him...since we most definitely do not want “Obama Lite”.
I doubt he wants to face Romney. Who do you think he fears the most? I think it’s Romney and the reason is they are so much alike. The only difference between Romney and Barry Soetoro is that Barry is a Marxist. Other than that, Romney is just Obama lite and that’s probably what scares Prez Soetoro.
You've posted this same basic schtick several times and your threads have stayed up and you have not been banned. Quite the prima donna routine on your part, given the history.
did not know Muslims had such a big problem with Mormons...
sabato is just a fagot taking up for the fagot in chief.

Unloading on Romney? Now?
Not a waste of time. It’s a no-brainer. A win-win. Why not unload on Romney now?
I was once actually spit on by a Gore supporter in San Francisco during the hanging chad fiasco. My husband chased the scum down and the scum cowered like the coward he was, begging for mercy. Meanwhile, I reported the scum to mounted police who told me that spitting on a person is assault. Please do not mention spitting on me. Thank you.
“Quite the prima donna routine on your part, given the history. “
Oh, brother. Just an activist grandma. Do you even know anything about my “history” of activism?
I am also well aware that you have started several threads as of late complaining about FR's treatment of Romney and you have not been banned and those threads have not been pulled.
Isn’t it absolutely delightful how the Liberal Main Stream media has maintained their high standards and not reported on any of Obozo;s discretion. They have not investigated, nor reported on nearly every item that has surfaced. It is absolute proof of the ‘One Party’ theory that the GOP elites have stood by and allowed their candidates to be destroyed, one by one. and have not retaliated on Obozo by way of ‘quid pro quo’.
Earth to the Obamaloon, dont waste your time.
From what I can see, this post is directed at Obama, not you.
