Romney Aides Outline Plan Of Attack After Convention

Romney aides, appearing at a panel hosted by ABC News and Yahoo in Tampa on Tuesday, made it clear they were prepared to hit the ground running after Romney accepts the party's nomination on Thursday night.

Eric Fehrnstrom, a senior adviser for the Romney campaign, said after the convention, when people were in the "decision-making stage" of the election, they would be giving greater scrutiny to the race. "I think they're going to vote for change. And if you're voting for change, you're voting for Mitt Romney," he said.

Romney adviser Beth Myers agreed. "People will start paying attention, and when they pay attention that works for us," she noted.

The aides, in outlining their strategy for the days after Tampa, said they believed the campaign would be able to aggressively target some states considered safely Democratic — including Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin.

They also noted they would have access to their general election funds and highlighted the advantage they have there. Romney has beaten Obama for the past three months in fundraising and also leads the president in cash on hand — $185.9 million to $123.7 million as of the end of July.

suburbs---the metros surrounding philly, chicago, detroit, denver and los angeles moved between 15 and 30 points towards red between novembers 2008 and 2010

they are inundated, these suburbans and exurbans, with nitely news broadcasts coming out of philly and chicago and detroit reporting heartbreaking stories of youth on youth murder and mayhem with frightening frequency, infuriating accounts of downtown corruption and graft, waste and bloated upside down budgets, public unions pissy in obstruction...

catholic support for obnoxious obama has equally collapsed since grant park and his assault on conscience will be front and center in tampa

wisconsin is 9.3% polish, they like lech walesa, they don't like obama's surrender of sdi gratis

poles are 7.2% of pennsylvania, 9.0% of michigan, 8.4% of ohio, 5.1% minnesota

the youth vote is enervated and in despair, way too many are living with mom, way too many grads can't find work they're worth, their enthusiasm for obama has crashed since 08, according to the polls

since ryan's selection the numbers on medicare have flipped, seniors are more positive for the courageous and visionary author of the only serious budget the us has seen since obama than any other age group, and seniors feel more strongly for ryan than for romney and biden and obtuse barack obama

seniors always vote, their enthusiasm this year is red hot, they're all lining up to see 2016 the movie

they also really like those popcorn nuggets at chick fil'a

the money advantage is huge, not even counting the pacs, the roves and kochs and colemans who really are gonna lay down something like a quarter B

and the money margin will only grow

but it's the promise of attack ads highlighting "new information" that oblivious obama should most worry about

on which fronts will the romneys mobilize---will it be solyndra and obama's double down on bankruptcy, the 80% of DOE loans going to bundlers?

fast and furious, executive privilege and transparency?

the news last week that middle class incomes have declined twice as fast AFTER the recession ended than they did DURING the darkest days, those 3 years of "recovery" coinciding precisely with the presidency of obfuscating obama?

the VA spending 5 mil on a florida bash while our aged heroes struggle to qualify for effective services?

the epa regulations against coal and oil that no less than the GAO said just last week would kill plants and raise energy costs?

the cartels' murderous presence in chicago and thru the midwest and the pusillanimous president's stubborn refusal even to talk about it?

the leaks---stuxnet, the kill list, doctor afridi in pakistani jail after helping the seals get ubl, the hollywood producers' top level access to classified info---which no less than former obama defense secty robt gates suggests came from the nsa?

obama depends on americans remaining uninformed, the more they know the more they hurt

it appears romney is enabled and prepared to go after these things and others
