Reply #33: Can you imagine a Bill Clinton campaign with Soros $ (in contrast to 04)

[BlueInRed]

The thing is that the issues Kerry got hit on were exactly what I said they'd be (to friends) back in Dec 03. I know that every candidate had their weaknesses and problems; I'm the first to admit the GOP would attempt to smear EVERY candidate. That goes with the territory. But, just imagine for a minute a more articulate and personable candidate, like Bill Clinton, with that kind of big money to get his message out. A candidate like the Big Dog supported by Soros money would have wiped the floor with *, vote rigging notwithstanding.

It seems to me that the ability to articulately and consistently frame your message and to reach people personally are probably the most important attributes that will let you overcome the predictable GOP media attack machine.

I have my own opinions about which candidates would have stood up to the onslaught better, but rather than starting a flame war over that, it just seems that a messenger like the Big Dog with Soros money would have been unbeatable no matter how many machines they rigged. I took that to be the basic thing Soros was saying. JIMO.
