Clinton Urged Change in Attacks on Romney

For months, Bill Clinton has argued that the Obama re-election campaign should stop attacking Mitt Romney as a flip-flopper, Politico reports.

"A more effective strategy, Clinton has told anyone who would listen, would be to focus almost exclusively on Romney's description of himself as a 'severe conservative,' to deny him any chance to tack back to the center."

I hope the Dems will jump on Mitt each and everytime time he stuffs another foot in his mouth.

The "severe conservative" line was classic. Everyone knows he's a flip-floper ayway.

tie him to the most extreme elements of the GOP. Ryan, Demint, ect. Trap him between denying it and explaining it.

The old Devil knows how to win. We have to make Mitt want to disown the tea Party, and aggravate the schism.

7. Too much was made of the flip flopping.Tagging Kerry a rich elite on his yacht is what finished him.

I remember the moment I first saw the pic of him on his super yacht; it was a face palm moment. I like John Kerry and he is a real war hero, but none of that can erase the fact that he married into wealth and is very comfortable there.

We should constantly remind people that RMoney is the Richie Rich candidate. Out of touch, empty suit, who made his money as a vulture capitalist. Buying up companies and laying people off for profit. Don't let him get away with his fake "successful businessman" persona. It's all a slimy lie.

Also, we have to encourage RMoney to prove that he is a funny likeable guy....Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
