In reply to the discussion: Romney, Who Has Two Harvard Degrees, Says Obama Spent ‘Too Much Time At Harvard’ [View all]jtuck004
(15,882 posts)28. Everyone could learn from Maddow's segment last night, where she showed
example after example of the tactic of identifying your own weakness and then accusing your opponent of that to deflect criticism.
Rom$ney did it over, and over, over, and I bet he continues, though he hasn't the exclusive franchise, and she pointed out that it is a Karl Rove tactic - you can see it in others. She has a bit of a liability in that she seems too in love with her own voice to listen to others, and her latest commercial, kinda half-ass in support of social security, still manages to minimize the pain of millions of seniors who are really not "doing ok", while she is doing quite well. That may just be a precursor to support excuses to cut some future benefits to appease the mean Republicans - not sure yet. But she usually has a strategic reason for pushing a point of view.
Regardless, she does have some useful data and analysis once in a while, and that was one of those.
