bedsitter23Things are about the same.
Romney and his superpacs are striking hard with the Solyndra and Stimulus Money going to China attacks.
He also is running an ad which goes something like this (paraphrased terribly):
Obama : "if you have a job, it's because someone created it"
Small Business Owner "I started my own business. What's up now, Barack?!? I do what I want. I'm voting Romney"
Obama is running a new ad which shows him talking to the camera (he's to the left of the screen, so he doesn't seem too creepy) and plays to his strengths which is really connecting with people. It goes like this (paraphrased terribly):
"Hello!? You're going to vote for the trickle-down guy?!?! Were you in coma from 2000-2008? Has your mind been erased? I'm going to say a name and it rhymes with Tush-Laney."
Romney as you may know is out of the country. He is on a visit to the Olympics to show his international side.
Which you probably know by now, because he is blundering terribly and publicly.
In theory, we would be talking veep-stakes right now.
Three potential #2s are making their way to Iowa to rally the troops while the man who would be President is out putting foot in mouth overseas.
Inevitably, one of these three will complete the ticket.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and Virginia Gov Bob McDonell will be taking the Romney bus to eastern Iowa (Advantage: Jindal- he supported Romney prior to the Iowa caucus. plus, he gets more stops).
US Sen from Florida Marco Rubio gets a Saturday night rally in Des Moines, and is the guy Romney had mentioned at a Iowa rally last month.
Consider this a job interview, gentlemen.
Wrapping up other recent news, it will remain to be seen if Romney's anti-wind power comments will hurt him here. Wind Power is pretty big in Iowa, and though this issue specifically would affect manufacturing that occurs in other state, it's one that will indirectly affect Iowa. Obama made wind power tax credits a campaign issue here. You can tell the local pull, because the wind credit extensionis supported by the Republican governor and other prominent GOPers.
I am not saying getting rid of wind subsidies is anywhere as poisonous as being anti-ethanol (John McCain found himself in that spot and essentially wrote off winning the caucus here in 2008). However, it may be important enough that it could crop up being a deciding factor in some voters' minds.
