The tough part about campaigning in 2008 was convincing people that I wasn’t just making up these kind of quotes from Obama, about electricity prices necessarily skyrocketing and so forth. Most people cannot even fathom that anyone in the world thinks the way progressives do. A lot more time needs to be devoted to explaining what the left is and what their agenda is. That’s why Newt can be a great candidate. He understands the left and can explain credibly and convincingly how out-of-touch they are. Santorum understands the left pretty well, but as Rick Tyler said, he can barely speak English. Romney has already said he refuses to to call Obama a socialist. He isn’t even going to try to explain what the left is. He’s just going to try to say he can “run things” better than Obama in a very generic fashion. He’s unilaterally disarming on 90% of his argument against Obama that way and will naturally make it much tougher to win.
A Romney nomination will be a Disaster. He will be billed as a Robot from Kolab right out of the shute, and then things will really get nasty.
Rick is another disaster waiting to happen. He has already given them an arsenal of material in stupid comments he has made. When he isn’t giving an empty Rah Rah speech, he has a difficult time speaking. That explains a lot about why his supporters have a hard time when asked Why they support him and what his positions are.
Get Rick flustered and defensive and he will self destruct. The real Rick is not the persona he has sold to the rubes.
I understand fully your frustration in campaigning. I think people should have to pass a test to vote.
