So, anyone see The Onion's report on Obama's speech? Not good if you support traditional Christian values...

CHARLOTTE, NC—With the savage roar of the heathen Democratic horde rising all around him, President Barack Obama delivered an incendiary speech to close his party’s national convention Thursday night, commanding the ultraprogressive minions in attendance to help him “destroy Jesus and usher in a new age of liberal darkness that shall reign o’er the earth for a thousand years.”

Truth be told, if it wasn't for Clinton the big thing coming out of the DNC probably would of been the arguements over God and Jerusalem.

Don't quite get the Democratic strategy for the election.  Which seems to be "burn bridges with all morderates, including a lot of conservative Democratic politicians we've spent a lot of time winning over.

Electoral map wise a Romney win seems unlikely, but Obama sure seems hell bent on making it close.

What is the GOP doing to try to win moderates?  It is "Obama sucks" 24x7, andf nothing really to appeal to independents.  Pretty much now, one could argue both parties are trying to play to their base, while making the other side seem to be spawn of Satan.  It is now get voter turnout up for your side, and get the middle sick of the other side.

Your actually quite wrong on that one.  If you study the moderate/independant vote you'll actually see "Obama sucks" plays to the independent vote quite well.

At least the way the Republicans are doing it.

One of the biggest breaking factors for independents is thinking the incumbant hasn't done his job.

 

Attack adds can be for moderates and indepentants... but it's how your frame it.

In general the these groups tend to be socialy conservative democrats, and socially liberal fiscaly conservative types.

 

Essentially Democrats who mostly are democrats but religious, maybe pro life or at least uneasy about abortion, more likely to own guns then the average democrats... and in general conservative on a number of social issues.  God and Jersualem tend to mean a decent amount to these guys.

Then the fiscally conservative liberals, which range from Libretarians to Clinton Democrats.

 

The Obama camp seems to be going out of their way to annoy BOTH of these groups.
