Why NOT Condi for VP - 2012 Race



CNN - Politics: Reports on the negative reaction by Conservative Republicans to the idea that former Secretary of State Condi Rice is at the top of the Romney list to be his VP. It is two words folks, abortion, Rice is pro choice, and Bush 43, she is seen as close to the centre of the Bush years.

Lets Get Real:

As to the abortion issue Rice could say that she has change her mind, lets recall that Ronald Reagan was a liberal Democrats for years, as to the Bush years she could state the success at the end of Bush in Iraq, also the Bush tax cuts, she would have to distance herself from the Bush bailout of the banks, that is a BIG NO to tea party supporters. The great point about Secretary Rice is that she is clever enough to stress the plus points, while being diplomatic enough to change her positions to fit the Romney ticket. Lets see if Romney is that BOLD, it would be a game changer, but lets see folks, it could be a story leaked to change the news cycle, get the press off the Obama attack on Romney's business record, lets see folks, fun time in politics.

Rice for VP? - 2012 Race

Drudge Report: Has an exclusive, former Secretary of State Condi Rice is top of the Romney list to be VP.

Lets Get Real:

It would be a game changer folks, but a good game changer, Secretary Rice is seen as close to Bush 43, she was his first National Security Advisor, then Secretary of State, her role in War on Terror, then Afghanistan and Iraq would be a open target to Democrats. Then we have policy battles between Rice and VP Cheney, in this case Cheney in his memoir has stated that the State Department let down the President when it came to North Korea. The Democrats would not be able to question her ability, but they would question her judgement, on the other hand it would get the press off the past business dealings of Governor Romney for a time. This blog has doubts about this story, it is to early for Rice after the Bush years, it could be argued that she should run for the Presidency herself in 2016. On other hand it would be a bold move, VERY BOLD. Does Romney have the guts to be that bold.

Iran and the Bomb - Iran Crisis


Telegraph: Reports on a claim by MI6 that it prevented Iran getting the bomb by 2008, but that Iran would be a nuclear armed power by 2014. The article notes the following, " making a military strike from the US and Israel increasingly likely. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus folks it can be postulated that we are heading in to the end game with the Iran crisis, the US has two naval carriers in the Persian Gulf, also vessels are being sent, one would not be surprised to see Israel hit Iran in mid October. If Israel thinks POTUS is going to win re-election they might think its in the interest of Israel to hit Tehran when POTUS has no choice but to support its ally. After an election POTUS might think he had a free hand to place sanctions on Israel. These would not happen as Democrats and Republicans in Congress would over turn any sanctions, but Israel might think why take the risk. Thus look for October to be a window for action folks. The West can not afford for Iran to be a nuclear armed power, this would force the other Middle East countries to go nuclear, that would make the Cold War look like happy hour folks.

Obama vs. Romney - The Friday Match Up Polls



Rasmussen Reports: Reports on its daily tracking poll on the match up between President Obama and Governor Mitt Romney, on this Friday President Obama leads Governor Romney by 46% to 45%, a 1%.

Gallup: Reports on its daily tracking poll on the match up between President Obama and Governor Mitt Romney, on this Friday it finds a tie at 46%.

Lets Get Real:

Thus folks we have a tied a tied election; as these polls have likely voters as with the case with Rasmussen and Registered voters with Gallup; neither Obama or Romney have managed to keep a stable lead, thus its a open race. In pure PR terms POTUS has had a good few days, he has kept the conversation on the business record of Romney, thus charges have been throw about, that Obama is a liar, while Romney has been called a felon. It is only July folks, not the end of October. The voters want to know what the candidates are going to do over the next four years. Thus Romney needs to define the future better, while Obama needs something, he cant spend the next few months just talking about the Romney past record. That might work with the base but it does not work with Independents and Conservative Democrats. Thus both candidates have a lot more to do define their Campaigns and to define the other Party. The Campaign has gotten dirty early folks, YES that is what Democracy is about folks, thus the fun starts.

Obama = Liar


Lets Get Real:

The Romney Campaign has to hit back even harder, this is a good 1st attempt to counter attack the Obama Campaign, but its not enough, the Romney Campaign has to get in to the dirt with the Chicago Re-Elect otherwise they will lose, that simple and brutal folks. The Romney Campaign has to take the attack to Obama, in his face, his personal and administration failures. Its the only way to win folks.

Missing the Target - The Romney Record


Guardian Live - US Politics: Reports the following on the Obama attack on Romney's business record in its 2.44pm post it states, " Has the Obama campaign over-reached on this? Unless there's more to it, it would appear it has. ".

Lets Get Real:

The low level vicious attack on Romney is based on the fact that POTUS can not run on his domestic record, ObamaCare is hated and has been defined by the US Supreme Court as a tax, the billions spent by Obama in the first two years of his Presidency did not get the economy moving, he has nothing to say about the future, so he has to get the election as a vote on Mitt Romney. This is why the Republicans have to hit back hard, not just take it, that would be 1996 all over again. The extreme liberal media did not vet Obama in 2008, he was given a pass because he was the first African - American with a real chance of winning the Oval, well if the media wont do its job its time for the Republicans to recall the REAL Obama record, the personal, his racist pastor, his domestic terrorist friends, his drug taking, its all there folks, just the media is so up Obama's backside they think it smells likes roses, he is a Chicago Pol, nothing more or less, time to hit back hard, on his personal failing and his failure as President. It is the Chicago way folks.

Obama is liar - Romney Attack



Telegraph: Reports the following on the US Presidential Campaign, " Mitt Romney branded Barack Obama a "liar" ".

Lets Get Real:

It is about time that the Romney Campaign got in Obama's face, the right is going to be called racist by the left wing media what ever they do, so its time to take the gloves off, call POTUS on his lies when it comes to Romney's business record. At the same time call Obama OUT when it comes to ObamaCare, the President stated it was not a tax but his lawyers stated to the US Supreme Court that ObamaCare should be considered a TAX. Also the President stated that his spending would keep US unemployment under 8%, another lie. POTUS is a Chicago pol, they do not even know what the truth is, its anything they use to win. Lets take the fight to the Oval.
