| #1 Will the campaign be relentlessly negative to the end? IMHO, Team Mittens hasn't been anywhere near negative enough. They need to make Obama himself the central issue; his utter lack of private-sector experience, his supporting rogues' gallery of fixers, nutcases and terrorists, his artfully concealed academic and political background and his not-so-artfully concealed hatred of this country and the people who keep its wheels turning. Which campaign is likely to have the advantage in money? Per Opensecrets.org, the Lightbringer still has big advantages vs. Romney in total cash raised, spent and remaining on hand. And Dear Leader's campaign website's finance page STILL isn't asking for the three-digit CVV code for credit-card donations...which means God knows how many millions of dollars will be funneled to him from God knows where. The only thing that can possibly keep Romney in the hunt is the conservative Super PACs. How important are the debates likely to be this year? I hadn't even thought that much about debates, but now that I do, the prospect scares the s#!t out of me as an unshakeable opponent of the red-diaper, affirmative-action baby currently defiling the Oval Office. Team Bambi is going to demand debate conditions that will be exclusively friendly to The One. Romney's a better debater and is light-years ahead of Obama in intelligence, but you know damn well that the moderators are all going to be MSM Obama stooges who will spend every debate asking Romney if he's finally stopped beating his wife and making his dog ride on the station wagon's roof, while asking Obama to explain just what it is that makes him sooo transcendently awesome. Alternatively, I can imagine a scenario in which Team Mittens pushes back on Obama's debate conditions, in which case the Obamedia will deep-six the debates entirely and spend the remainder of the campaign season blanketing the airwaves with ads castigating Romney as a gutless wonder who lacked the cojones to face Dear Leader in one-on-one competition in front of the electorate. |
