    Default Re: 2012 U.S. Presidential Election

    Well you have to remember that Obama is running in the red right now, he is spending more money than he is taking in, largely because his entire campaign strategy was to define Romney before he could get the General Election funds, that has largely failed, now comes the Romney counter punch.
    Cash-in-hand is still cash-in-hand. There's a plan B, I'm sure. Though yes, a Romney counter-punch is forthcoming.

    In terms of the things that have passed, from the convention, to a massive holiday weekend, it can be a eternity. Not to mention the Republican barrage to get women voters this week does take alot out of that strategy for Democrats.
    See my edited comments in the previous post. It's easy to pander to women on issues like abortion. Trust me, they won't forget Akin's seeming callousness.

    Umm dude, that poll was taken 10 days ago, by the time the Democratic Convention starts it would be over 2 weeks since the remarks even came out, and again as I noted, there has been ALOT that has happened in that timeframe.
    My point is that public opinion on this issue now favors the platform of the Democratic Party. Regardless of Akin's remarks, drawing attention to this issue is an effective strategy.

    Obama could have those anonymous super-wealthy Super PAC donors, if he had actually taken a different strategy about Super PACs to begin with, and had not spent most of his Presidency attacking Wall Street. If Democrats are pouting about lack of Super PAC donors, then they have no one but themselves to blame.
    Sorry, my intention was to illustrate that Romney probably does have more donors in the 1% than Barack Obama does. By the numbers. Which, as you say, is because Obama has a less familiar relationship with Wall Street.
