I like it....but for the wrong reasons.
The Democrats/Obama need to have the fight taken to them. I applaud the Romney campaign for their pro-active campaign tactics and taking the initiative away from the Obama campaign.
Romney’s faithful have used these and even much more brutal tactics during the Republican primaries. Out of neccessity in my opinion.
Mitt is such a poor candidate based upon his personality (absolutely NO charisma), and on his record as a public sector executative (governed as a lberal) that without smeering his competition he’d be an also ran once more.
To prevail in this, or any other contest, Romney HAS to get down in the sty and sling mud. It’s the one thing he’s good at as a politician. The saving grace of that is that, against Obama’s smear machine, it’s exactly what will be required in 2012.
My feelings is that Obama knows he’s toast in November and must decide which way to go. Cheat? Turn dirty nasty? Accept his fate with grace of a leader? the first and second ways appear to be in line with his past political campaigns. As for the third Obama has neither grace nor is any sort of a leader.
Hot damn. FUJM
I’ll have to give Willard credit.
I figured he would be McCainesque: savage conservative opponents, then handle Zero with kid gloves.
Instead, at least so far, he shows every indication that he will fight tooth and nail.
If Willard were to pick a VP candidate like DeMint, Mike Lee, Rand Paul, or some other solid conservative, I think my detest of Zero would let me overcome my gag reflex and vote for the Republican ticket.
If it’s someone like Doughnut Boy Chris Cristi or Pawlenty, all bets are off.
Like Romney or not, he’s showing a penchant for doing battle that we never saw from the tired, dried-up McCain in 2008.
Obama was never expecting this.... nor was Henchman #1, David Axelrod.
Well played, Willard.
Gotta love Romney ... at least a little bit.
I love what he’s doing so far. Going to Solyndra plant was a stroke of genius. Interesting what the plant had inside (especially since we paid for it) Fancy showers that were digitally set to show one the exact temperature.
Real upscale stuff and it didn’t cost Obama a dime ... cost us a billion.
When asked what grade he would give Obama, Romney didn’t hesitate. “An F across the board,” he said.
The stunned questioner asked, “even on foreign policy ... what about Osama?”
Romney went on to give Obama some credit for that (I don’t think he deserved it) but then he outlined the rest of the foreign policy disasters.
This candidate does not seem to be of a mind to pussy foot around Obama as the late, unlamented cadidate of 2008 did.
Sorry about that, but I’m starting to like the guy.
Bring it on Mitt!!!
