To take the positive route, as in his last ad, and make the election a choice between two ideologies?
Or to take a more aggressive route, as in the ad showing Romney singing with his out-sourcing notes in the background?
Of course, the Republicans that come on the Morning Joe show, for example, say that the Obama's "positive" ad is the best ad in the campaign so far. How much stock do you want to put in those accolades?
Romney is a very secretive candidate. His own Party does not know what financial deals he has been involved with. He still refuses to show his tax returns. He has fired American workers and out-sourced their jobs overseas. There is a lot to criticize with Mitt Romney.
Would it be a mistake to simply make it a "choice" between the two candidates? In doing so, Obama and the Democrats give up half the ground to Romney to begin with and they both start at 50/50 and let the people make the decision. Is that the best way to run this campaign? We should take into consideration that the Republicans are not beyond stealing an election if they can get away with it.

(31,849 posts)Do BOTH, position the election as a choice between two vastly different ideologies AND hit him hard on out-sourcing and Bain and his non-disclosure of his tax filings.
They should do the former because it IS a choice between ideologies; and the latter, because it proves the point.
I think all the gush over the "Choice" ad is because pundits KNOW that the hits are working ... and want them to stop.

The Dems have to outwit the money being spent, and that means taking the truth so that all levels of intelligence understands. It also means exposing the Fundies for the hippo-size-crites they truly are. Government is not a business, it is a government-sure would like to see this "business" taken off the table somehow.
Mitters is a poor excuse for a Presidential candidate, even for the GOP. If he manages to get in, we all better start carrying our own pocket-sized jars of vaseline!
