I agree with you - your observation reinforces what I already said.
The Veep doesn’t make a political difference like they used to and neither guy can help the the guy at the top of the ticket win.
That’s the responsibility of the candidate running for President. Obama has a big hole to climb out of next week.
We’ll see if he can be the Comeback Kid of 2012.
I don’t see Obama recovering. I think we saw the real Romney and the real Obama at that first debate. If Obama comes out swinging he’ll seem prepped and fake. If he pulls a Southside Chicago Pastor act he’ll finish himself with the white vote and election. If he remains passive and arrogant he’ll lose again. So it’s lose/lose for Obama.
He’s losing the media and those liberal whores are cheap. If you cannot keep them in your camp it’s over. I believe we’re at an inflection point not just in the campaign, but throughout our country.
If conservatives don’t want to go back and forth from election to election we need to not let up after the election. We need to have a half century plan to return our republic to greatness. Our ideas are superior and we need to lead with them. It’ll take some training/educating to bring about change.
That’s not going to happen in Washington or at the action of any politician, but from us as individuals innovating our way out of this mess. There are millions of solutions just waiting for government to get out of the way.
That’s what I’m most excited about with Romney. He wasn’t my fifth choice in this race, but I didn’t think he would be as devastated as others did by his Romneycare issue in MA. Even then I saw it as an opening to federalism and state’s rights. That’s exactly how Romney and his team used it.
That’s wise as a political strategy to win this campaign, but the real benefit to America is a return to federalism with states competing. I also like Romney’s pick of Ryan and this debate solidified that for me. I know that Ryan’s debt plan isn’t perfect, but he’s sharp and dedicated. A VP can be a force multiplier for a President and I believe Ryan will be very busy in a Romney WH.
Romney doesn’t just want to win, he wants to serve two terms and see his VP elected. I’m not counting the victory until Nov. 7, but I’m hopeful.
