Apparently @MMFlint, Michael Moore, despairs of Barack Obama's ability to triumph over "President Romney".
Moore has his reservations about President Obama, and that concerns
me. Moore spoke to Piers Anthony Sunday night, and Moore expressed
dismay that the president spoke in Aurora, Colorado, to the families
of the lost, and the president said current gun control laws are
sufficient. It might help for me to review a transcript of the
conversation with Morgan, but that's what I took away.
last Thursday, and he raised the prospect of a Romney victory. Obama
swept to office in 2008 on a wave of popular enthusiasm that might not
be repeated. Moore pointed out the The Boss, Bruce Springsteen, has a
vote for Obama. However, Springsteen might not perform concerts to
raise funds, get young people registered and turn out the people to go
to the polls. Obama needs this enthusiasm, which can't be bought.
Enthusiasm can level the fund raising equation, and without
enthusiasm, the Obama dollar doesn't go father. And if Obama is beat
in fund raising and can't leverage the social media X factor, Romney's
effort might triumph. Obama will need two voters for every three that
reaches the polls due to voter verification or "voter suppression",
terms depending upon your viewpoint. Much is going wrong in the Obama camp. For example, shaming Anne
Romney for owning a fine horse will proved to be beating the
proverbial dead-horse. The Obama camp has to conduct better analysis
of wedge issues, better examination of the depth psychology of the
voters on the margins. Sing to the Obama choir yes, but also find a
way to talk to those disaffected 2008 Obama voters. Michael Moore in New York City's Union Square Barnes & Noble to
discuss his book Here Comes Trouble.
