Eagleton in 1972 was a 'knockout'.

Or do primaries not count?

Herman Cain this year for example.

And for those too young to remember, Muskie was the victim of Nixon campaign
dirty tricks.

He isn't taking anything very seriously, evidently.

edit: grammar.

to weaken him for final knockout later this fall. Either way its a pleasure to watch!

and early from now on.

stealing the election via the electronic voting machines to fall back on. I won't rest easy until the results come in and Obama wins.

i do think this line of attack may change the narrative and define rmoney (to our advantage).
this may lead to a series of rmoney "missteps" and "blunders" and "gaffes" that now fit into a storyline of someone who can't handle the (pretty basic) aspects of presidential politics.

eventually history will then view this as the turning point in the campaign.

not a knockout punch, but a major blow after which the fighter is just not the same.

yes INDEED

The reason is because the National Review and other important GOP pols are asking Mitt to release. Why? Why not back him? It's becauise we are the cusp of event horizon--the next stage, a very scary pleace, where Mitt doubling down means the entire GOP brand is in jeopardy-- with their own folks. They cannot have a significant number of people staying home. There is probably a mad scramble behind the scenes to see who is next in line in case Mitt cannot be rehabilitated by the time of the convention.

This is why POTUS needs to swing hard, and relentless. It must be exhausting, but the payoff is huge downticket: taking back the House and keeping the Senate.......... With each upper cut, some unknown number of registered GOP voters already make the decision to stay home.

I was wrong.

So Palin was no surprise to me. Not in the least.

A misquote about small businesses, and "he needs to learn how to be an American"...

In short, he has no counter punch.

The whole "unAmerican" bit was trotted out in 2008 and has never been out of play. Anyone who is going to believe it already does, so saying it again is pointless.

Obama has on the other has been trotting out the "business does not exist alone, it depends on public infrastructure" for at least a couple of years now. Anyone who is interested can understand it as simply true, there really is no debate. Businesses need sound infrastructure, an educated workforce, and basic social order (law and order) to survive. Look at any other country in the world where one of these bits is missing, and you will see little trade or foriegn investment, and a very impoverished population.
