Politicizing terror
The article is not just about Obama in spite of the title. It's a winning political strategy — with downside consequences, too.
It is going to be close, but I think that Obama will prevail. The trump card is the economy, and Romney is so obviously 1% I think he loses credibility on this issue in an electorate that knows the 1% are the only ones being served.
Romney has no cred as a populist candidate, and as a campaigner, Obama will clean his clock. Obama has a huge amount of charisma, and Romney is a turn off.
But it's going to be close anyway, and a lot can happen between now and election day. The negative advertising is going to be fierce and pervasive, and the GOP operatives are going to pull out all stops short of actual violence.
Ok, I have to ask Tom...who do you think will win the election this fall between Obama and Romney?
