“I think Romney had better rethink his campaign strategy from bottom to top. I have said since before the election in 2008 that the only way to defeat Obama is to morally destroy him. Romney has shown no fastidiousness in destroying his primary opponents. I do not believe that Obama’s race warrants such careful handling now.”

This is NOT going to be a “jobs and unemployment” type of campaign.

If Romney and his people (and Freepers, too) believe they can win on these issues alone, they have another think coming.

This is a “social/moral issues” campaign as well. Perhaps moreso.

It’s the “gut issues” that have “made the difference” in the past. They are as much today.

Conservatism is NOT about economics as much as it’s about social, cultural, and moral precepts. Get the latter right, and the former will follow along as a matter of course.

Don’t go after Obama’s wallet.
Go after his throat!

Deo vindice!

The problem is that's not Mitt's forte.
