This Post is Not About Obama – It is about dumb, failed Democratic election strategies
I am not breaking my recent promise to have mercy on my liberal brothers and sisters by dragging poor Barack through the “purity” mud with my magic pony. I promise.
Rather – I am pointing out, (for my nth time as a blogger) that there are two ways to conduct a national campaign. There is the Democratic Party’s system of trying to appeal to 5% of the “swing” voters through “triangulation.” We can also call this the “50% plus 1” strategy that Bill Clinton won with. There is the “Energize the Base” strategy which a Democrat won with in 2008.

Obama Strategy Explained
The underlying message: Unlike his opponents, Barack Obama doesn’t have the luxury of playing the political game on a 24×7 basis. He’s not just a candidate, he’s President of the United States of America. He’s got the responsibility to govern, and he’s not going to lose sight of that. The intended contrast with the GOP is obvious. While Republicans will nominate a candidate for whom winning will be job number one, President Obama’s most important job is and will continue to be leading the nation.
