The unofficial Obama and Romney VP speculation thread

[byu71]

I hate to feed your prejudices like this but many more Dems are lawyers than Repubs. Tougher to get one off message.

And are you also inferring they are trained to win your case even if you have to lie to do it?

Absolutely not. But the temptation is always there to go beyond the evidence you have when arguing your case.

I don't understand a) how she became the chair of the party and b) why they continue to allow her to speak for the party/president.

Well if grumblings within the party are true they're not happy with her. Maybe they just don't have anyone to replace her. I don't know why she agrees to do these interviews because she keeps getting nuked.

She is such a dumbass and really does represents the problem with the democratic party (i.e. a complete lack of logic). For example, Liberals, on one hand, are all for allowing women to do whatever they want with their bodies but as soon as you ask something like, "so then you support legalizing prostitution?", they go batsh*t crazy on you in a complete break down in logic and will try to change the subject or focus. She represents actually represents the party perfectly.

I don't believe she knows she gets nuked. She most likely thinks she's the one doing the nuking.

I think this was a pretty good point. Romney has to resurrect the Democrats for Reagan.

A majority pointed to a 60-second AFP spot -- which has been running in swing states as part of a reported $27 million advertising blitz by the Koch brothers-backed group -- as the most effective ad of the current cycle.

In the ad, voters who cast their ballots for Obama four years ago speak directly to the camera about why they would not make the same decision in 2012. “He said he was going to cut the deficit in his first term; I’ve seen zero interest in reducing spending,” one man says. “He inherited a bad situation, but he made it worse.”

The ad made an especially strong impression on registered Republicans in the Luntz focus group, but registered Democrats and participants who said that they intended to vote for Obama again also gave it high marks.

Asked what they liked about it, several cited the relatively subdued tone and the effectiveness of featuring “real people” instead of actors or politicians.

“They basically said exactly what I’m thinking,” one of the participants said of those featured in the ad.

“I can almost see myself in that ad,” another added. “It seemed the most real.”

One female voter in the ad praises Obama as a “great person” but in the same breath questions his ability to lead the country.

It’s a line of thought that Romney himself often echoed until recently and one that seemed to make a strong impact on the participants in Tampa, many of whom expressed continued personal admiration for the president during the two-hour session.

“They’re telling you not to vote for Obama pretty much, but it’s not in a personal, negative way,” one focus group member said of the ad’s approach.

Luntz told a small group of journalists who watched the proceedings from behind a one-way mirror that the AFP ad has been deemed the most effective by every focus group he has conducted around the country in recent months.

This should put to bed anything left about Romney's kid calling the candidates.
