Will Obama have the guts to call out the "Do Damage Republican House" on the '12 stump? |
|
Doing that would do more than anything else to boost his chances for re-election...but he's going to have the "bipartisan" wing of his advisors insisting, once again, that he can't stand up to the 'Pugs on a consistent basis.
What strategy do you think will prevail...fight (and win), or hold fire (and concede defeat in advance)?

1. Fight and win is the only logical strategy |
|
moving to the center for either party has been a losing strategy politically for over 30 years, but we still see politicians moving in that direction.

3. What I was asking was, will he STAY with it |
|

or will he once again listen to those essentially Republican advisors of his who will be demanding that he give it up and go back to the useless assumption that he has to go further and further right, and be deferential to the 'Pugs at all cost, because that supposedly impresses "the independents"?
(I say supposedly because, in truth, moving right always loses him the independents because it looks like the opposite of leadership.)

4. On the stump? Yes. As president in the act of governing? No. |
|
Obama may act like Harry Truman out on the campaign trail, but he'll govern like Grover Cleveland as president.
