Campaign Management...Posted By Tony Aguire |
On some other forums I frequent with political discussion, a theme has started to emerge that is probabaly worth bringing up here.
Some folks that were on the fence about Romney, or were slightly in support of him have jumped ship or decided to support Obama because of what they perceive as a key indicator of Romney's suitablity for the offce of POTUS.
His poorly run campaign.
Now granted, it takes more than one person to run something as complex as a presidential campaign, but Romney's gaffes have put him in a very awkward position a couple of times in a very short timespan. The fact that Romney himself is making these statements essentially lets his staff off the hook, so it's not like he could rightly fire anyone of his staffers (though you never know 'cause we know how he likes to fire people).
Everyone makes gaffes, democrat and republican, but the enormity of Romney's gaffes and then his attempts to stand behind them have no doubt created doubts in the minds of some. Even members of his own party are starting to distance themselves from Romney.
What sort of assurance can we expect that he will do a better job when he actually gets into office? Is he just nervous all the time and unable to get his words out right?
