According to Rasmussen today and the last few days, Romney is up nationally, and up in the “swing state poll”. With regards to individual states, Romney is up both in NH and CO (!), as well as up big in both NC and MO.
If you live and die by Rasmussen (like I do....), then things are going ok.
Still need to see a bump in VA,OH and FL.
Mittens’ boring campaign, to date, is too reminiscent of Kerry’s ‘04 campaign in which he had a plan for every situation, but no details.
While releasing some details of his vision for America could be a major boost to what is, so far, one of the dullest presidential election cycles in recent memory, he needs to take the gloves off and take the campaign to zero. This is the part I don’t get - does zero have enough dirt on everyone in America that we’re all supposed to be afraid of him?
So far, no one is really willing to take off the gloves and REALLY get down to brass tacks with either zero or ANY of the leftists. Sometime, we have GOT to stop pretending that we are the good guys in the white hats and take the fight to the Dems.
Like the ‘06 mid-terms when there wasn’t a dime’s worth of difference between Dems and ‘Pubbies, in this election, it is hard to know what Romney really supports and what he plans to do. He has already back-tracked on striking down ZeroCare but, other than that, we have a lot of words with no vision and no details.
It’s time for him to start putting some cards on the table.
I call!!
that is.....dare I say it?......Reaganesque!
You know, if this released tape of Romney ends up being the springboard for Mitt to go on narrative offense and seal the deal, I’ll laugh really hard.
Why? Because another useless CARTER, in a long tradition of family screw-ups, will end up being partially responsible for another Repub victory.
I’m giggling already just thinking about it.
[ And finally, Romney’s campaign might do well to tell his surrogates, staff and supporters to buck up, ignore 90 percent of the media coverage (this is evergreen advice) and hammer his message, not the media narrative. Whatever the question, the answer is: Obama’s way didn’t work, and here’s how the Romney-Ryan plan will. ]
I hope the Romney campaign reads this!
Romney’s editorial
http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/story/2012-09-18/Romney-47-recovery-dependency/57804214/1
Can’t lose if you talk about freedom versus dependency.
And if that’s his message and he delivers it and the population votes in the marxist, then it’s time to hunker down and wait for the worse to come.
Nothing we can do about it if more than 50% of the population wants socialism/communism, at least not via the voting booth.
