[quote=pri_dk]The only way Romney can beat Obama on the economy is if he convinces voters that he is the better choice for the middle class – not something he is in a good position to do.
Americans have never been too keen on electing a “businessman” to be president. It has a certain appeal, but most people never go for it.
Of course Romney is not a pure businessman – he’s got experience as governor. But that experience probably hurts his chances more than helps.
“Romneycare was great for Massachusetts, but terrible for America, and here’s why…”
“Sure, I’ve fired a lot of people. It’s good for job creation…”
I said it before on this site: We are going to see the most bizarre doublespeak in American history from the Romney campaign / Murdoch propaganda machine.
The Daily Show will have no shortage of material.
I’ll bet Romney’s campaign managers are carefully reading 1984, looking for ways to refine the message.[/quote]
I would agree. Short of something of a disaster in the current economy, Obama will win over Romney. I’d say if the economy goes to the crapper, Obama’s got a big problem then, because people are gonna wonder where did all the spending go. Things like the GSA wates are going to be blown out of proportion. I know it’s probably overblown. But it really doesn’t set the mood right.
For your reference….
If the economy craters, the GOP is going to plaster these and every other dirt they dug up on every attack add possible about “big government waste”.
It’s really not Obama’s fault imho. But perception will be reality.
