Suppose Obama was a Republican.
You know what the spin would be from the Leftist media machine?
“Obama is in serious trouble. No incumbent President polling less then 50% has ever won reelection. That the Dem is polling neck and neck with Obama is a sign the election is all but over for Obama.”
Kind of curious why “conservatives” who watched the Leftist media manufacture a fraudulent Bush National Guard story in 2004 and corruptly coordinated coverage with the Obama campaign in 2008 via the Jour-0-list website now assume that magically in 2012 the same politically corrupt media is suddenly become “objective” and “honest”?
We know this is true because this is exactly what was going on in 2004.
The more disturbing lesson of 2004 is that an incumbent in trouble can win via a 'base' election even if they lose the independent vote, and Obama is playing that strategy.
Romney should be messaging inside and defeating the Obama strategy... and THERE IS A WAY. Its obvious: Make every Obama pander to the left something he pays a PRICE for. Gay marriage. taxpayer funded abortions. Stimulus and bailouts. His claims on jobs and auto bailout - undercut them all with the facts on $25 billion cost to 'save' GM which went bankrupt anyway, and the 8%+ unemployment. Even attack him on spiking the ball over Bin laden, pointing out that Al Qaeda is alive and our Libyan ambassador is dead. MAKE EVERY OBAMA CLAIM AN ANCHOR AROUND HIS NECK. This Jujistu would basically get the majority of Americans who oppose Obama's extremism appalled at what he is doing.
The word ‘honest’ is not a good word to use when defending Romney, at all.
If he wasn't telling his rich donors one thing and the rest of us another he wouldn't be in this latest mess.
Talking about ruling out 47% of voters is what you do AFTER you lose, not before. Before you lose you (Romney) are supposed to be trying to get Americans to vote for you. That, plus complaining about the media being unfair, is what those sure they are losing do. When winning those excuses are irrelevant.
