All indications are that Obama will face an onslaught of negative advertising in the closing days of the campaign. The Democrats will have to blunt this barrage. Two strategies have potential in this regard:
1) Obama can say: "You know me. You've watched me work for almost 4 years. You can believe a torrent of dishonest negative advertising in the last month of the campaign, or you can believe what you have seen with your own eyes over the last 4 years? Ignore the Karl Rove dirty tricks. Look at how I've handled the presidency."
2) Demos can say: "Has this been the worst campaign ever? More ads on TV, radio, the internet. More negativity. It's no accident. The money spent on this campaign dwarfs the money spent in any previous campaign. During the last presidential campaign a Republican group went to court trying to overturn campaign spending limits. Five Supreme Court justices over-ruled the campaign limits passed by Congress. The 5-vote majority declared corporations could give unlimited sums of money for political advertising. In that 5 to 4 decision, all 5 of the justices who ruled for unlimited money in campaigns were appointed by Republican presidents. Mitt Romney is a hedge fund manager. He represents corporate America. Of course he doesn't want campaign donation limits that might reduce corporate domination of American politics. Guess who he'd appoint to the high court.
"If you are fed up with the way our elections are going now with their endless advertising, negativity and lies, then don't elect another Republican president. If you want to return elections to the people, if you want your vote to really count, re-elect Barack Obama."
