Rec This Thread if "You're mad as hell with the Rovian Obama Electability Issue Crap."

[Laura PourMeADrink]

Typical Rovian tactics being played by media and by the Clinton team CONSTANTLY questioning Obama’s elect ability prospects.. !

It’s Rove’s classic MO, assess your own weaknesses – find the worst one – and then be the FIRST one to accuse your opponent of the exact same thing! It works for two Reasons 1) You accuse first and often and in orchestrated unison, turning it into Conventional Wisdom, 2) The one accused is immediately put on the defensive and responses are typically un-orchestrated and scattered.

In the end, you have a net gain because more people heard the first accusation and any defense arguments are heard by fewer people. Hey it worked on the experience issue even though there's not much difference between the two!


The media has every right to ask how Obama can boost support with groups that
Hillary has done better with. BUT THEY SHOULD ALSO ASK CLINTON AND HER SURROGATES:

About the biggest Elephant in the Room ! HALF THE PEOPLE IN THE US say they would
Never vote for Hillary Clinton for President. How's turning that around going? Do
you think it could be any more favorable since this survey was done by Zogby in October given
your negatives among Dem's have risen?

And while you are at it:

1. How can Hillary win over New Voters and Young People like Obama can??? (And dropping
that she plays pinochle, is not gonna cut it!)

2. How Hillary can win over the Independents and Republicans like Obama can?
(And threatening to obliterate Iran's not gonna win over the moderates!)


The Obama Team should get their act together before people actually start
Believing this bullshit! Remember there are people out there who still
Believe that Saddam was responsible for 9-11 !

3. One third of undecided superdelegates say electability is the most important factor... so here's a

newsbulletin:

If superdelegates override the votes and nominate Hillary, she will immediately become the least electable candidate, because the voters are going to be pissed.

4. Do you think, that if they do the insane, and do what you said,

don't you think offering O the VP slot would be part of the deal? And,
if it was, do you think he would accept? He almost seems too proud
for that. And hell, she'd probably never let him do anything :)

Did you ever see Office Space? This old guy is relegated to the
cellar to work, people stop paying him, and no one knows he's still
there? That's what I picture if he was VP under her. You can
bet your bottom dollar he wouldn't have Cheney power.
