From ‘scandal free’ Obama to exit polls, Dems’ Oval Office win largely based on personality

An analysis of what we did wrong and what we need to do to win.

Sometimes I ask myself whether Republicans really want to win. I certainly did that in 2008 when Sen. John McCain challenged then-Sen. Barack Obama. I asked myself that again in 2012 when early on it was obvious Gov. Mitt Romney would be our nominee.

I also had to acknowledge a couple of negatives.

Media fretted in 2008, but death threats against Romney receive little coverage

What a difference your political party makes when it comes to media attention.

In 2008 media pushed stories about death threats to then-Sen. Barack Obama, the Democrat, above the fold.

In 2012, most media have ignored ongoing death threats against Republican nominee Gov. Mitt Romney.

Romney blows up Politico’s past insult; Americans find a president

The Republican National Committee followed up Romney's debate win with the video 'Smirk.' (RNC)

On Wednesday as GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney dominated the first presidential debate on domestic policy, the Left reeled as the Right watched with a mix of wonder and joy. By mid-debate, if not earlier, it was obvious Romney would own the night.

The governor achieved a sort of social justice for Main Street, within the government-allied media complex.

In January after a debate among the GOP Primary candidates, Politico’s Roger Simon wrote a story, “They are not worthy.”

WaPo’s Journolist founder wrong: Romney didn’t “admit” middle class tax hike

In response to untrue ads about Romney's tax plan, the Crossroads PAC distributed a video.

NO THINKING PERSON WOULD TAKE the founder of Journolist seriously when it comes to truth in politics. Ezra Klein, who herded media into group think via his Listserv in 2008, wrote a column with this title at The Washington Post:

Romney didn’t admit that because it isn’t true.

Romney gets drilled while Obama gets pass on ’60 Minutes’

Gov. Mitt Romney didn't get the sweet deal '60 Minutes' gave President Barack Obama. (Photo: Romney campaign)Did you watch the 60 Minutes interviews with President Barack Obama and GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Sunday?
