Karl Rove's Most successful tactic

[JMDEM]

Find the opponent's strength and attack it.

E.g., if your opponent is a war hero, attack him as being a coward.

if your opponent has a 100% rating in terms of women's rights, attack him on women's rights. Doesn't matter if they are lies or not -- just attack attack attack.

Worked in 2000, worked in 2004. Worked before those dates in Texas.

Anybody see any parallels in 2008?

1. Sounds like the Clinton Campaign to me.

[JMDEM]

2. Have we become what we hate the most? NT.

3. What the Obama campaign did to Edwards' strengthes on working folks and honesty

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

4. And if your opponent is beloved in the black community, call her a racist

"The Clinton's are racists" is exactly like "Kerry was a coward."

5. Clintons want to raise the negative ratings on Obama, are lieing to get it done.

Chicago NOW President ---- Brett Howard turned off by Clinton lies on Obama's record of a womans right to choose switched her support from Clinton to Obama.

6. Or she got a phone call from Obama's Chicago machine

Chicago. Isn't that were Obama is from?

[JMDEM]

8. Why would Clinton be afraid of Obama's Chicago machine?

Whoops - you mean the NOW lady. Okay.

7. No matter who is doing it,

The average Joe Shmoe doesn't have the TIME to track down all the lies. It's turned politics into a nightmare.

[Captain Angry]

9. "Joe Public" doesn't have the resources to track down the corrections

or the retractions.

Say it once, get the "news" to repeat it for several nights in a row, and the damage is done.
