It's Hard To Hyperventilate Over Mitt
Campaigns like to cast elections as good vs evil. That's a challenge if the opponent is Mitt Romney.
Campaigns attempt to fire up the partisan troops with two strategies: casting elections as good vs. evil and declaring the upcoming election "the most important of our lifetimes."
Liberal writer E.J. Dionne goes for the latter strategy in his Monday column, but Mickey Kaus is having none of it, if Mitt Romney is truly the nominee.
Romney will campaign as competent manager of the economy, not right-wing ideologue. It's also harder to cast him in the "evil conservative" role as easily as a candidate like Newt--even with the Bain Capital stuff being recirculated.
It'll be interesting to track the progressive strategy against Romney if the historic methods of moving voters don't seem to be working.
