Schneider: Giuliani’s ugly approach may backfire

This speech is about mockery – and I wonder whether that’s appealing to voters. I really think this tone is going to turn a lot of voters off – it’s ugly, it’s bitter, it’s nasty. There is a bullying tone to this speech, and to Romney’s speech, and I just don’t think it works.

Even less appealing: “When they gave up on Iraq, they gave up on America”? Now that’s insulting.

What they’re doing is re-running the 2004 campaign, which the Republicans won on the issue of terrorism. He’s saying the war on terror should be the supreme issue – but for most voters it’s the economy.

1. Who's Schneider?

He/she's right. It was FUGLY.

2. Unfortuntely, there are a lot of ugly nasty people out there.

Let's hope they've learned something since they got what they wanted with *.
