For an issue that's supposedly potent against Democrats, Romney's campaign is declaring a cease fire. This, even as the law polls unfavorably and it proved to be a motivating force for Republicans and disaffected independents in the 2010 midterms.
It's becoming clear that Romney has decided to focus on the economy at the expense of everything else, even issues that could play to his political benefit. He's avoided criticizing the administration's handling of the botched Fast and Furious operation, even as it threatens to become a serious vulnerability for the president. He's been silent in responding to Obama's immigration executive order, not wanting to offend receptive Hispanics or appear like a flip-flopper. He appears more likely to tap a safe, bland running mate like Ohio Sen. Rob Portman or former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty who won't do him any harm but won't benefit him much either. If the economy continues to sputter, that safe strategy might be enough. If not, his options are limited.
In football, there's a well-worn cliché about the prevent defense (a scheme utilized when a team holds a big lead over its opponent): It prevents teams from winning games. In politics, Mitt Romney is testing that proposition as far as he can.
Between the lack of link and your connecting this article with Ingraham, you have me concerned.
... and I love Laura’s “Posted by staff” when it was authored by an outside ‘journalist’ and there is no attribution.
I never said this was anything other than opinion. But look at the facts Kennard. Your guy took the DAY OFF after the ruling. He should have been out there screaming from the rooftops on behalf of our country’s freedoms.
Add to this his tepid response to the ruling when he did make a statement the day of the ruliing.
This post/thread is not meant to suppress conservatism. Laura Ingraham has been nauseating pro Rom. for months. What she is trying to do, and rightfully so, is shine light on the mistakes being made by the Romney camp...SO THAT THEY CAN MAKE A COURSE CORRECTION.
Mittens is getting bad advice.
He should hire Walker’s campaign staff...NOW! ...and figure out a way to address HC without being so worried about being attacked for Romneycare. How is anyone’s guess...but remaining silent is cowardly and not gonna win the election for him.
You're trying to talk sense to the glass chewers? Let them chew, I say! *crunchcrunchcrunchcrunchcrunchcrunchcrunchcrunch*
