GOP convention a great success

[renard_ruse]

I didn't see more than about 10 minutes of it, but from everything I've seen or read it seems like it was a very positive convention and a rip-roaring success.

It sounds like they are going to bring back President Reagan's positive message, which is a big danger for the Dumborats who have made clear they are running on their only issue: Republiphobia. Postive message vs. negative message? The battle strategies are clear, we shall see whether America votes for fear or for optimism.

BTW, I'm still not supporting the Republicans or Romney, just pointing out the fact.

Both camps have positive messages and negative messages. What you hear depends on your demographic and location.

Adolf Hitler said one should not evaluate a political message by the effect it has one oneself, but by the effect it has on its chosen audience.

So far the Republican National Convention does not seem to have given Mitt Romney much of a bump. Barack Obama is still slightly ahead.

I seem to remember, although I may be wrong, that immediately after the Democratic National Convention of 1972 George McGovern was slightly ahead of Richard Nixon. Immediately after the Democratic National Convention of 1984 Walter Mondale was slightly ahead of Ronald Reagan.

During the campaign Obama has been slightly ahead of Romney in both the popular vote and in the Electoral College. I predict that the Democratic National Convention will raise Obama's rating by a few points.

This election will be decided by the debates. Although most Americans favor higher taxes on the rich and no significant changes in Social Security and Medicare, Romney and Ryan favor tax cuts for the rich, and reductions in SS and Medicare.

Obama and Joe Biden will not need to be brilliant debaters to win the debates. All they will need to do is expose what Romney and Ryan want to do.

One of Romney's major problems.

People who normally vote Republican may not.

Virgil Goode and Gary Johnson have some appeal.

Who wins depends on the economy. Unemployment numbers come out next week.
