"All the stars are aligned for a strong Republican victory across the board in November. But if there’s one thing Republicans are good at it’s snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.The Romney camp and the RNC are running an aggressive campaign, hitting the president on his numerous economic failures and highlighting his many, many gaffes, such as “the private sector is doing fine.” And it’s smart of them not to focus on Obama’s character flaws, of which there are many.
Everyone knows the president spent his pre-Oval Office years being friendly and/or friends with terrorists, racists and radicals. We don’t know his grades and haven’t seen his courses or his writings, yet we’re told he’s a genius. We don’t know how a disengaged student with an admitted drug habit managed to get into some of the top universities in the world. No one in the mainstream media is asking, nor do they care. They’ve swept it aside.
He’s president – he has been more than three years. Most Americans who don’t have time to pay close attention think they know him, even though we know next to nothing about his life before he entered the national stage. The media won’t admit it has committed malpractice because the malpractice was malicious, not accidental. It’s not that they lie; it’s that they don’t care. You can’t run a correction on an omission.
So, at this point, focusing on Barack Obama as a man may be fodder for interesting blog posts, but it won’t swing many votes. His record is key.
Republicans need to educate the public on the president’s true record. They need to run not a reactive campaign or even a proactive campaign but a pre-active campaign.
We all know what David Axelrod and the Chicago machine have planned. They will attack Romney on his business record, have surrogates attack his religion – then denounce the attack after the outrageous slur makes its rounds in the media – and attack the Republican Party as “obstructionist.”
Republicans are good at dealing with the first two but horrible at the last one. And the last one is the most important."
Whatever. We've had this conversation about Hunter before....
