re: #75 Gus 802

One of the stark realities is that a lot of people have already made up their minds. Then it would be a matter of convincing them to vote for Obama again. Something akin to “four more years”. The only way out of this would be to run a fear campaign built upon the what ifs regarding a Perry presidency. Independents won’t care about creationism, birth certificates, climate change, etc. It will be about the economy, the economy, the economy.

You say that as if that hasn’t worked before. Reagan did it to Mondale and Bush did it to Kerry. As far as independents are concerned, they may not care about these issues, but Democrats sure do. Perry will energize Democrats, even the one’s who are disappointed in Obama. I know I don’t want President Invasive Vaginal Sonogram. Obama could also remind those independents that the last time they didn’t care about those things they got GWB and how good was he for the economy?
