Like His Policies,
His Attacks Are Not Working Either
Posted by Erick Erickson
Wednesday, May 23
Barack Obama’s economic policies have failed to do anything except
drive up the national debt. He has not created or saved jobs. He has
not gotten Americans back to work. About the only significant industry
he has expanded is the printing industry printing all the extra food
stamps Americans now depend on.
His campaign attacks do not seem to be working either.
He is winning women, but not by the overwhelming margins he needs to
get elected.
He is now losing Catholic voters, a key constituency he won in 2008.
He is even losing Democrats on his Bain Capital attacks. His campaign
has spent more time explaining itself to Democrats this week on those
attacks than it has been able to level the attacks. It doesn’t help
when the Obama campaign is raking in money from Bain Capital and
private equity firms while trying to demagogue them.
In a nutshell, the Obama campaign must convince Americans that Mitt
Romney would be a worse option on the economy than Americans already
believe Barack Obama is. Running a campaign on the message of “you
think I’m bad, just look at him” is not really a winning message.
Last night, Barack Obama got a lower percentage of the vote among
Democrats in Kentucky and Arkansas than Mitt Romney did with his base.
Over 40% of Democrats in Kentucky voted against Barack Obama. Even at
11pm ET last night, the Associated Press had called the Arkansas
Republican Primary for Mitt Romney, but still had not called the
Democratic race for Barack Obama.
This is not good for the incumbent President.
While all of this is going on, Cory Booker of Newark, NJ, Ed Rendell of
Pennsylvania, Harold Ford, Jr. of Tennessee/New York, and Duval Patrick
of Massachusetts were chiming in to defend Bain Capital.
The attacks are not working.
