You pretty much nailed it again. You don’t advance your cause by, basically, stating that your candidate won’t be as big a foul up as their candidate.
You highlight your candidate’s strengths, and the opponent’s weaknesses.
I wouldn’t be constantly going on about the experience factor for two reasons.
Palin isn’t exactly rolling in a wealth of experience, and the great zero will have 4 years of presidential experience by election day compared to Palins zero.
The focus must be on her ideas, and the great zero’s failures.
We know she took a stand with the oil companies on behalf of the people, but do we know the story? Can we share that story also and what it accomplished for the people?
Currently she still stands up to the MSM and we know that story of course..it's played out every day.
You get my meaning perfectly Scotsman, and stated it much better than I. Generally I can spot when the wind is going in the wrong direction, I can't always formulate my words well enough to strike the cord that's needed to encompass the full impact of what I'm seeing. But you did that exceptionally well in your post. Remember Regan told alot of stories....he knew them to tell as he campaigned...stories sell an idea... so we need to tell Palins stories and get off this comparison thing with Bo...Palin does more than well enough when it comes to ripping Bo and those who oppose her now.
