15. The problem with his record
Sun Jan 1, 2012, 10:58 PM
Jan 2012

is that the nation is not going to be focused on Romneys record, our side will be wise to promote it but its not a reality to the masses.

The real issue is will Obama be able to run on his record. I really don't think that "IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE" is a great campaign. Obama has done some positive things but only viewed from the left side of the political aisle and many on the left think he didn't go far enough.

The real test is how does Obama translate his accomplishments to lure moderates and Indpendents back to the fold and what will his uniting agenda be for the next four years.

I mean I remember Bush in 04 he ran on that Ownership society crap, now everyone new that it wasn't going to happen but he did put it out there as an agenda of change, something new and different and he won so presumably, enough people were fooled by it.
