Let's watch the devastating ads Obama will run against Romney

European-style class warfare is soundly rejected each and every time it is tried in America nationwide. What worked for Ted freakin' Kennedy in Massachusetts does not work nationally. Just ask Walter Mondale.

Can Republicans stop running terms into the ground the second they discover them?  "Class warfare" probably hadn't been uttered once in the past ten years prior to about November when some guy on FOX brought it up and now it occupies about every other sentence of conservatives.

Obama can't run on anything positive and plans to run a scourged earth reelection campaign. Somehow I don't think that will play well, especially with all the positive energy he had four years ago.

Nothing positive?

A war ended in Iraq. Bin Laden is Dead. Gaddafi is dead (not entirely his doing, but he did not exacerbate the situation and instead hasted its conclusion). DADT repealed. A nation that was hemorrhaging jobs into one that is creating them. More young people now have health insurance. And there is much more.

Of course, these will be written off by my Republican friends. The foreign policy success? Oh, any President would have done them! Economic growth? Oh, it could be better? If Obama had taken down Bin Laden with his own hands and had a month that added a miraculous 400k+ jobs, it still wouldn't be enough, now would it?

Sorry, Nagas... but LOL @ the idea that Obama can campaign on being a job creator. Get real.

Yeah, jobs and the economy isn't gonna be on Obama's top of the list for speaking points.  Maybe when campaigning for Reps/Senators where he can push blame for Congress not taking action to improve the situation, but those won't be topics he challenges Romney on heavily.

Give or take, we've netted about more 1.6 million jobs in the past year. Considering we were hemorrhaging jobs in 2008 and early 2009, especially 600k a month at the worst of the recession, that seems like a marked improvement doesn't it?

I admit it's not his strongest point (far from it), but voters do not vote on the performance of the economy, rather their perception of it. If unemployment continues to drop, we clock in good job numbers, and inflation remains tame, he can tyrb the perception of how he handles the economy into a more positive light.

That said, my point still stands. He has many positive accomplishments and positions he can tout to the voters.

Obviously, though Republicans will deny it.  And making the positive case for he's done and the negative case against the Republican Party for what they've not done and Romney or Nonmey or whoever they nominate for what he will do aren't mutually exclusive.

Who does Red State support?

If the election were held next month that'd be true but we are turning the corner of jobs and if things continue at this rate he'll have a lot going for him. It's not too different now than things were at the end of 1983 (and I was a newborn baby lying in a crib), but Reagan still ran his "Morning in America" ad.

Perry.

I don't think so...

[King]

Red State, like all good Americans, is doing its part to makes sure the stage is set for Cain to re-enter the race.

[RogueBeaver]

RedState is better known as PerryState.

On the OP: LOL.
