Who should Obama model his reelection campaign after?

[bluestateguy]

I didn't put Wilson's slogan from 1916 in there because I doubt it will be applicable: "He kept us out of war!"

[Jade Fox]

1. Can the guy get a least one year in office.....

before we start re-electing him?

[cherokeeprogressive]

4. Repeal the 22nd Amendm,ent!

He's the greatest President that any living human being has ever seen! Dincha know?

[Raine1967]

2. Ok, Really? Are you serious?

This is just silly. Even if I were to take this seriously--did you pay attention to the campaign he ran?

Why fix something that ain't broken? Hell -- you didn't even offer a choice of his OWN MODEL.


#FAIL (on so many levels)

[babylonsister]

3. His own campaign in 2008-worked like a charm. nt

[NYC_SKP]

5. Other; None of the Above.

He'll take what's useful from any prior campaign but largely develop one that doesn't particularly resemble any of the above.

[Hippo_Tron]

6. Ask me in mid 2011 and I'll have a better answer

Too early to know exactly what the themes will be about just yet.

[Hutzpa]

7. None of the above n/t

[argonaut]

8. Assuming the economy's recovered...

Reagan's campaign theme would work a treat.

[bluestateguy]

9. Yes. It's important to point out that in 1984, the economy had not yet fully recovered

In Texas the oil industry was a mess, so was the auto industry in Michigan, which still had double digit unemployment; the farm states were being battered by drought and foreclosures. class inequality was growing, as was the poverty rate. Unemployment at the national level was about 8%. But GDP started growing robustly in 1983 (2011 being the equivalent for Obama), and like Obama Regaan was an electrifying speaker and had a fine campaign team.

[Sebastian Doyle]

10. If he had RESULTS he wouldn't need to worry about slogans.

But he's probably going to have to replace about half of his cabinet (including the entire useless economic team) in order for that to happen.

[BlooInBloo]

11. lol!

[rustydog]

12. He should model it after the wildly successful 08 Obama Campaign

nuff said

[scheming daemons]

13. Johnson, 1964: "My opponent is bat-shit crazy and would start WW3!"

[Raine1967]

14. Is this what DU: GD:P REALLY is about?

Sad.

It really looks like a bunch of Conservatives in this poll! has DU been freeped?

OR is this what DU thinks?

[Colobo]

15. Reagan.

[annabanana]

16. Other:. . He should handle it like he thinks he should handle it..

Really.. was there ever a tighter, better run campaign than his first?

[leftofthedial]

17. if he doesn't radically change his economic team and their direction,

Carter in 1980.

[Forkboy]

18. Me. In fact, everything should be modeled after me.

:P

[grantcart]

19. I need Cali's opinion on this before I give a substantive response

[Forkboy]

20. I don't need cali's opinion to tell you I'm right on this one.

:D

[babylonsister]

24. I second that!

:spray:

[Forkboy]

25. Then you're crazier than I am!

:P

[Jennicut]

21. If I was Obama I would ditch midstream. Its a sucky job anyway.

Who would want it? Well, he did but he's nuts.

Seriously, if Palin runs he won't need to have a slogan. Just let her do all the talking.

[scheming daemons]

22. That's what Palin would do......

[Jennicut]

23. Yup. THAT is Obama's slogan if she wins the nomination.

"She ditches mid stream!"

[Lord Helmet]

26. After his own last ass-kicking campaign.

27. Obama 2008
