From Politico via HotAir, this gem of an explanation from David Axelrod. Polls show a public impression, by a 2-to-1 margin, that Obama is running a more negative campaign than Romney. Axelrod explains that that's only because Romney is running ads accusing Obama of negative campaigning. Now I guess we'll need a poll to determine which campaign is using ads more critical of the other's ads.
In other brilliant-campaign-strategy news, the Obama campaign is explaining that his "you didn't build that" speech didn't really say that, thus ensuring that millions more voters will view clips from the actual speech on infinite loop for the next week or so.

More and more often, the Won's campaign machine's message is getting wrapped around the Axlerod.
What I want to know is who supplies the D.C. denizens with all the flame-proof material used in their pants?
Bthun, it may be in those thin vertical stripes in the suits. Pinstripe and chalk stripe are trendy this year, and it may be to disguise Nomex (tm) or other similar materials.
That or you might swing by "Old Scratch, the Master Tailor" in Alexandria VA and see if he'll tell you how many of the DC denizens he outfits. Just ignore all the red fabrics and yes, the A/C is always broken.

I was given to understand that Obama was good at campaigning. Perhaps he's not even good at that. Is his only skill reading the teleprompter?
Axelrod hit his peak this year in the hit campaign on Herman Cain- where he was behind the scenes. Since then it has been all downhill for him. Axelrod does best as a behind the scenes operator, digging up dirt on political opponents. Every time he appears in front of the cameras as a spinmeister,he does the Republicans a favor, invariably putting his foot in his mouth. Even a ten year old can catch his lies on camera.
Please, please, please, Mr. Axelrod, spend as much time in front of the cameras as possible.
James, I for one never even thought he was particularly talented at that. What he was good at was being vague and shifty enough so that people could see him as they wished rather than as he was, and -voila- the media did the rest. Turns out he's more incompetent than even we who were against him from the git-go could have realized.

Seems I recall him visiting a neighbor's barn... Hmmm, must have been a dream, or maybe an old movie.
Ah yes!
Here is the most vivid part of that remembrance.
It is a recount of how Mr. Scratch spoke of easy gain, of hope and change during a time of doubt and stress. And how those who listened lost not only their freedom, but their soul.
Lessons forgotten...
102 days and a wake up.
