If Romney is the nominee, progressives should highlight his progay stand...

...former, alleged stand, that is. And they should highlight his pro-choice comments. In commercials... Using footage of him speaking. It would work wonders.

[think]

1. I hear he has a swell health care plan too!

[msanthrope]

3. That covers abortion services. nt

2. It would be wise to keep this campaign negative.

That's the path to victory...

4. It might confuse low information voters

who would be confused by why the Democrats were running ads apparently taking issue with those positions and might decide that Romney wasn't so bad after all.

5. If he was pro-Gay, that would be to his credit. Why would should that be used against him?

Unless of course he's changed his position.

6. Are you saying it would cause the rethugs not to vote for him?

I think that's a crazy idea. It would make fence-sitters who tend to lean the slightest bit to the left to give him their vote.

8. Not if done properly.

And if it was in the context of highlighting his wildly contradictory, "flip flopping" statements.

7. Why?

Those are the right stands to have. It's not like the loony right is going to vote for Obama instead. Your strategy only potentially draws away independent, moderate, undecided voters.

9. They are not his stances any longer......

So I'm not sure why Independents, Moderates or undecideds would want to vote for someone who been on every side of every issue. How is that a good thing?
