And not what you think.
Ann, who can't campaign more than 3 days a week due to health reasons has now been totally neutralized. Every time you hear her name, see her face you will think to yourself 'never had a job' This is the message the American public will recall every time the name 'Ann Romney' comes up.
Yes, campaigning is brutal and this one is going to last 7 months. Will anyone really remember the clash that created the 'never had a job' framing. But no one will forget 'never had a job' and know exactly what that means.
Quick - 'where's the beef?', 'in your heart, . . .', 'Etch-A-Sketch', 'Severely Conservative' - see you didn't.
The war on women is over. So, the Democrats didn't sweep but they hung a prrychic victory around Romney and the Republicans. 9-1 isn't a bad record. The focus is about to shift to economic fairness.
We're in the ultimate ground game, now. One-on-one, tit for tat, attack-defend, roll with the unexpected. The battle has narrowed to 10(?) states and about 5,000-50,000 voters in each state.
So, there'll be 200 more fuck-ups over the next seven months and all will not be Rmoney. Unintented consequenes will dominate this campaign. The issue is defining a way of thinking and to the extent it is successful, is the extent Obama will win.
So far, Obama has been successful at defining the narrative and having Romney play by it, despite battling the media, Repug party, Congress, a well-financied opposition, and a apathic, un-knowledgable public.
Currently, I see three out-comes:
1) Obama wins by 10% vote & 100 electoral margin.
2) Obama wins by 2%+ vote, but less than 20 electoral.
3) Romney wins by 0%-1% vote and only less than 10 electoral.
Despite, your views on Obama, name several pluses to having Rmoney instead of BO? Do you want to bother naming the negatives.
