Mark, you're preaching to the choir. You know probably much better than I that your readership is primarily those such as myself who are like-minded and in basic agreement with your political philosophy, statements and rather heroic efforts. Alas, and thus, you are not reaching those in what you accurately describe as the "murky middle". Personally I often forward your messages to those whom I believe to be receptive but perhaps not totally accepting. Those who have not as yet cemented their choice for president can, I believe, best be swayed by appealing to their emotions — a method that Obama, despite his alleged aloofness, has mastered. Hence the Romney-Ryan ticket must do a couple of things: 1) convince voters that Romney is not Bush, even criticize the policies (especially domestic spending) of the former president and explain the differences; 2) Obama will remain Obama — what you've seen is what you'll get — increased government intervention, increased debt, increased taxes, less employment, uncertain future and an overall weaker America. Voters are fearful for their future, the future of their children and the future of America. Cynical as it may seem Romney-Ryan must play to that anxiety and provide how the Republicans can alter that road to perdition that is promised by another 4 years of Obama.
