Fight the issues, not the people.
This is how George Bush won two elections and this is the genius of Karl Rove's strategies - he doesn't ever make those people vote for him, he gets us to do it for him.

This is our problem. We're attacking her for being unqualified and stupid, when she is every bit as scheming and manipulative as any Rove stratagem. We need to stop pretending she's not. And the worst thing about this, is that all the vitriol spewed by leftists is shoved onto Obama as if he's controlling the "Media elite" who consist of blogs and online magazines...
Thing is, we're attacking her fervently because we think Obama isn't attacking them enough. Do we really want Obama to be call their policies pigs? You can't fight with them in vague terms. They control the spin machine.
Obama shouldn't fight the "change" meme. He should fight their tax plan, he should fight their health plan, and he should fight their oil interests. And he should tell all of his followers to shut the fuck up about identity politics.
And then he should put out about 20 commercials that look at individuals who would get health care under his plan, or would have their taxes reduced, or would benefit from some other program he intends to pass.
