2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumMVP of 2012 Election
When Obama wins this thing on Tuesday, who do you think would be considered the MVP for bringing the victory home:
1. Obama: For staying consistent on message and battling back after the 1st debate
2. Biden: He righted the ship when he smacked down Ryan and sort of set the tone for the next two debates, as the bleeding seemed to stop from the 1st debate.
3. William Jefferson Clinton: For being the man that captivated the nation with his speech at the DNC convention. In addition, Big Bill has been active in stumping, too bad Gore didn't utilize him more in 2000.
4. Chris Christie: For throwing Romney under the bus
5. Hurricane Sandy: For allowing many undecided voters to see the adapt management and bipartisan skill of Obama.

(3,436 posts)He's run the most dishonest, fraudulent, and incompetent campaign in modern political history. That plus his unlikeability have contributed to that.

(13,992 posts)I'm excluding the Obama because the candidate should ALWAYS be the MVP of a winning campaign. So looking at the others, I think nobody brought more than the Big Dawg -- and I say this as a card-carrying member of the Joe Biden Fan Club.

(3,191 posts)Others have been helpful, but to his credit Obama (aside from the 1st debate) has been been so disciplined and effective, despite all the odds against him. He has worked his butt off!

(304 posts)Let's be real. If that video was never filmed/released, voters really wouldn't believe that Romney was only for the wealthy. But with that video, EVERYONE saw for their eyes what a lying piece of crap Romney is.
I forgot about the 47% video wasn't that James Carter's grandson, and yes, Romney and Michelle Obama would be good choices. Also we could of put Todd Akin in there too.
