"The Obama campaign has really studied the Bush re-election playbook of 2004," said Michael Toner, an election law expert who served as counsel to the first Bush-Cheney campaign. "They've looked at how Bush campaign dismantled Kerry. [They] immediately turned and blasted Kerry literally within days of Kerry being the presumptive nominee."
Obama going on the offensive against Romney could really help Newt and Paul. Their campaign purchasing in Florida, Nevada, and Colorado also partially negates the Mitt's "one state ahead" strategy in ad buys.
