Rmoney is as of now, at least low-level radioactive, because of the Bain thing.
But the real fight is going to be Congress, because if the GOP retains control of the House or takes control of the Senate, kiss goodbye to any sort of progress for the next four years.
So my suggestion is that we need to be digging through the dirt of every rethug up for election, and see how we can frame our messaging to tie them to Rmoney.
Rmoney's the anchor. Tie the rest of the fuckers to the anchor and drop them into the Marianas Trench!

Or: "He won't even support his own party's candidate for President."
I like it!

The best strategies are the simple ones.

(50,297 posts)Right now, the immediate goal is to define Romney as an out-of-touch, untrustworthy, tax-evading, wealth-protecting candidate and that is succeeding given the high-pitched wailing coming out of the likes of Rove et al.
Come September, the tie-in to the repub House and Senate members whose votes on bills reflect the same attitude toward the average American as Romney, the out-of-touch, untrustworthy, tax-evading wealth-protecting candidate.

I can't understand why so many of our Democratic elected officials are so cowardly, as to NOT act in their self-interest.
I think if I were running ... even in the reddest of red states, my campaign focus would be Four-fold:
1) "This is my 'PLAN'." (Even if it is not in lock-step with the Democratic Caucus ... Support for President Obama's Jobs Plan and ObamaCare - even with some tweaks, would be enough if laid out.)
2) "These are the things my opponent supports." (The votes against President Obama Jobs Plan, should be enough.)
3) "This is what romney offers" (Tax cuts for the wealthy and Promised Severe, but undisclosed, cuts to government programs, should be enough.)
4) Again, "This is my 'PLAN'."
