True, Allan. It’s about retreating so you can live to fight another day and win.
Are you saying your bet is Rick Perry winning the Republican nomination?[/quote]
Brian: The problem about Obama retreating is that he doesn’t win. The perception is that he gives ground, even when he shouldn’t or needn’t, and that he’s been a punching bag for the GOP. So, it becomes something of a stretch for you to argue that he’s going to keep retreating, fight another day and win. Win what? There is NO plan. That’s what everybody is content to ignore. There is NO plan.
I don’t disagree with pri’s assessment of Perry, BTW, but he’s resonating with voters in a way that Obama cannot. This country is hungry for a leader and Obama is looking increasingly lost, all while the bad news just keeps coming.
Yeah, like it or not, I think Perry is selling the right message (that is, the message the voters want to hear) and don’t forget that behind Perry is one hell of a savvy campaign operation. Underneath that good ole boy exterior lives a ruthless, calculating SOB and one that has never lost an election.
