one would think that after spending millions on attack ads on Romney association with Bain and while his numbers stay stagnant that Obama would get a clue that no ones cares about Bain. Obama's needs to fire his entire campaign staff unless they can come up with something new

The attacks havent moved the needle at all .Infact,according to Gallup,Romney is now tied with Obama 46-46%.Originally Posted by jackdog
Youre correct.The economy and jobs is on peoples minds the most.Obama has so far outspent Romney on attack ads 5-1,over $100 million in swing states.The real action starts after Labor Day,after the nomination process is complete.Many former Obama donors,heck,even some Democrats turned off by Obamas anti-business rhetoric are now siding with Romney.By Labor Day,im pretty sure things are really going to start swinging and Romney will start outspending Obama in ads.

Hen 81 must either be a teenager or watches extremely little television, because I have personally seen a lot worse in the way of Presidential campaign ads. Several of the ones aimed at both John Kerry and George W. Bush come to mind just for starters.

The real contest does not even start until after the conventions. Saw a article the other day where someone suggested Romney is playing rope a dope with Obama. Obama is going to look pretty stupid if he does not find a new tune by September. The Bain thing is just not working for him.
My fellow political junkie friend and I cannot figure out why the man (Obama) that ran a picture perfect campaign in 2008 is doing such a whack job in 2012. A close look at the polls show he is in much worse condition than a cursory glance would indicate. I would bet a months worth of my retirement that the internal campaign polling gurus are saying the same thing.

It's easy to say what you gonna do if your elected. It's not so easy defending the fact you didn't do most of what you promised and what you did do failed miserably. That's a near impossible platform to run a campaign from. Add to that bragging on transparency then hiding behind executive privilege on Fast and Furious, the irony of accusing your opponent of outsourcing jobs while your appointed jobs czar is doing the same. Bragging about your job creation record when more folks were added to the disability roles than actually found an Obamanomics job. Claiming fiscal responsibility while add $5 trillion dollars to the debt and deficit. Obama can attack Romney all he wants, what they are is the last gasps of a dying Presidency may it rest in pieces.
Mr. President the least you could do for your supporters is go out in classy dignified campaign. All the smoke and mirrors won't change the fact that "It's the economy stupid!"
"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back." - Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark
So Romney's ECONOMIC EXPERTISE is "what's wrong",and Obama's complete economic IGNORANCE (typical leftlawyer) is the "solution"?
bwahahaahahahahaha!!!

Gotta love liberal hypocrites...
At a rally in April 2008, Obama pledged to “run a different kind of campaign” that would not try to fill the airwaves with negative ads. But don’t let that make you think Obama started with the negative ads when he decided to run for reelection. Recall, if you will, an ad released by the Obama ’08 campaign in the last months of the race, in which they take a cheap shot at McCain’s computer illiteracy. Now, comparatively speaking, it’s not nearly as negative as suggesting your presidential opponent would have hedged on taking out the leader of al-Qaeda, but it’s still pretty negative.

Granted its not 2008, so forego that argument, this is about character, or lack thereof...

and of course Romney has his Clinton video that plays constantly... this is only the beginning, the ads are coming, the networks love election years

Actually a very negative campaign cycle will hurt liberals more, people tune it out, some to the point they simply won't go vote in Nov. This is particularly true of some demographics over others, you'd think the Obama campaign would know that, yet here we are...
If we are bombarded with three months of negative crap and very little discussion on the issues voter turnout will be low, and that only helps Romney. I guess Obama was never anything other than a slogan...

I think it will hurt both candidates to go negative, I tune them out, but sadly many voters don't, they work, so politicians keep doing it, shame on you politicians....
