What Obama should do to win the election?

OKAY

Open for ideas here!

I'll give mine after you give yours, and I won't steal your ideas. You own them.

Here's a couple of thoughts to add:

60% of Republicans voting in NH today consider themselves socially liberal, and fiscally conservative.
wit
That's a couple of hints.

No one in the USA wants to go on record with an anti-Gay rights message.

Obama should come out for full rights for all adult two-person couples who wish to say they will be with each other for the rest of their lives. NO points for people who have made that commitment and broken it more than once.

Probably only 98% a winner, but if people love each other lifelong, I think this is a deciding issue for everyone around the nation who has less then 2 divorces, or who has committed to that marriage and realizes he/she gets lifelong equal benefits just saying they are ready to support Obama for giving anyone lifelong full American rights no matter who they marry.

Then on the economic issue, no one earns a dollar unless they replace the full income and benefits of anyone who they lay off............or something close to that.

And the only chance there is of Romney NOT being the nominee is if Santorum, Gingrich and Perry agree that South Carolina is the "pick a true conservative" primary, and the winner between the three of them stays in, while the losers just drop out. Then Florida can have a true three way race between Romney, Paul, and the anti-Romney.

If the sole and only anti-Romney loses that one, then Romney's inevitable. The fundies vote for a third-party religious nutbag candidate, Paul forms his third party, and Barack Obama coasts to re-election.
