The Obama and Romney Campaigns' Respective Tactics
by Balthasar Salazari.
The Romney campaign has been promising a metamorphosis from their current, nonchalant nature to a stygian, supercharged campaign that will land their candidate in the White House. Republican strategists, however, would seem to think that starting a donnybrook wholloping Obama's image right away would be unwise. Besides seeming contemptuous, it could very well hurt Romney's image as well. Attempting to launch a vicious ad campaign labeling Obama as a brigand with carte blanche over the country may come back to bite Romney, and we've seen very few ads of that sort.
Conversely, the Obama campaign has been lobbing many negative ads the republican candidate's way, seemingly hoping that enough anti-Romney incantations will magically change voters' minds. One ad features Romney's supposedly procrustean view of the 47% of Americans who don't pay taxes: another depicts Romney in interlocution with one of his GOP opponents, saying "I like to be able to fire people," as well as "I'm not concerned about the very poor." These ads exhibit the worst of politics and are rife with sophistries, taking many of Romney's quotes out of context. The current Democratic outlook seems to have only vestiges of the hope and energy of the 2008 campaign.
Okay. . . so this has got to be the most biased thing I've ever read. We don't deal in opinion pieces, Balthasar. Rewrite it. Also, are you seriously actually thinking of voting for this guy?

Not all of us vote the way we do just to appear as cosmopolitan as possible.
