They continue to miss the biggest problem Obama had, and why he performed so horribly last week: he has a horrible record that he simply can’t defend. Every time Romney took it to him, Obama wilted…it’s very hard to stand there and say you have a plan to cut the deficit, for example, when you’ve been running up trillion dollar ones your whole term. Or say you have a plan for people to get back to work when jobs just haven’t been there the last 4 years.
Romney’s best moment, imo, was when Obama said that Mitt’s plan was simply to return to the policies that got us into this mess, and Romney turned that back around on him, saying ‘You want evidence? Let’s look at the last 4 years…’ Everything Obama has, Romney can tee off on…you can’t recapture the magic of ’08 when you have an abysmal record.
I think there’s already been a shakeup in the campaign. It seems like some of the more prominent paid trolls at Hot Air have either been laid off or had their hours cut by Organizing for Obama.
If the topic is foreign policy, it will be hard for Obama to come up with any way to attack Romney except by saying he isn’t experienced. Obama will naturally be on defense most of the time.
Big Bird is the logical choice…but I would prefer Senator Reid, he is so level headed…or Wasserman, Debbie would be great, Debbie and Cutter, that is exactly what is needed to give his campaign some integrity…HAHAHAHA!!!
Look around, you got Kerry, Gore, Carter, Clinton, Reid, Pelosi, your choices are limited to fools and more fools…wait, you can use Anna Wintour–”See you at the debate, and don’t be late”…
The ‘ole campaign staff reshuffle, eh? Their internal polls must be showing a landslide for Romney. Now, they’re probably focusing on mitigating the damage to the democrat brand by trying to keep Romney’s electoral count as close to 270 as possible. Zero doesn’t want to be the guy who totally destroyed the dem par-tay.
It won’t be long until the DNC decides that saving the Senate and attempting to capture the House is more important and obtainable…Obama has probably 7-10 days to make a shift…and if the debate with Ryan, goes heavily with Ryan, DNC will cut the funding to Obama and focus on Congressional and Senate seats…
Blowback

Known as a double-down.

Good luck with that, champ. I’m sure it’s all in the messaging.

I don’t think even a resurrected Steve Jobs could sell the turd they’re trying to sell to American voters.
Obama was a blank slate in 2008. He’s a proven failure in 2012.

Panic time.
Not nearly enough. I want a 400+ year sentence.

Who do they have from ’08 who isn’t already involved?

I heard they’re bringing in George Obama from Kenya to take Barack’s place.

Really? Like who are they going to bring in?

Hilary Rosen? Anita Dunn?

He’d be 130 at the end of his time. I don’t see how the max (375 years) would have been any different.

I think he must’ve gotten laid off. He’s been awful quiet lately.
Hmmmmm…I wonder why that could be?

Unless Dr. Brown shows up with a Delorean that’s gonna improve his record, I don’t see how a change of messaging can polish this turd.

It’s a little early for the Black Panthers, isn’t it?
Dopenstrange on October 9, 2012 at 11:19 AM
Could be. They were both big assets for the Obama campaign in 2008.
AZCoyote on October 9, 2012 at 11:20 AM
They have been assigned to the polling places…I think Holder deputized them…
right2bright on October 9, 2012 at 11:20 AM
Actually, with all the early voting, they may have to pull some overtime this month.

He had the same debate performance as he did in ’08. It just came against someone good this time.
