Romney is not only running against the Chicago machine politics of Obama, he’s running against the entertainment industry, most newspapers and magazines, all of academia, the trial lawyers, and all public sector labor unions. It won’t be easy for him to get his message through all of that, but somehow he must if he is to win. The three presidential debates can be his best hope.
If Obama succeeds in his demonizing, in making it sound like Romney is so bad that Americans are better off staying with what they’ve got, then Romney will lose. If, however, the debates focus on plans for creating jobs, growing the economy and regaining American prestige around the world then Romney wins. In the war of ideas Americans still opt for strength, freedom and independence over totalitarian rule every time.
That’s about it. It shouldn’t be a tough decision for anyone who knows which kind of country they want to live in.
