Well if you are poo pooing the whole process of analysis after a loss, I’m not sure what to tell you. I bet this guy was on the inside begging Mitt to go with a harder message and was out voted by the others inside. This guy was right, it was the messaging.
Benghazi was money left on the table, as were a lot of other issue,s out of wimpiness and fear.
Or it was not articulating the economic issue well enough.
Or not hammering the values voter.
Or it was GOTV.
Or it was letting Obama have a free ride this summer (Rove’s main theory).
Or it was riding the clock in the last two debates instead of being more confrontational.
Or it was not allocating more to OH instead of WI and Penn.
Or it was not integrating the Tea Party.
Or it was ignoring the hispanic vote.
Or it was some or all of these.
My point was what ifs after the election are interesting, but it’s not as nearly as certain as we would like. When you win, everything looks good to you; when you lose everything looks bad.
thanks for your reply...
