3 million -popular- votes and 126 -electoral- votes is the difference between President Obama and Governor Romney. 4 years later and less than 11 million voters (9 millions Democrats and 2 Republicans), the GOP polarization strategy and setting the party on chessboard extremes has been a failure. (Just ask former Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown.) [...]
In the middle of the permanent deafening noise and daily polls dizziness, both campaigns still obsessed on talking about themselves and unsuccessfully bent to proclaim themselves as winners … when we are one week ahead for the election, the Sandy effects and last-minute surprises. Campaigns to be suspended on the affected states, calls [...]
Going into first debate “without soul” -accidentally or deliberately- is a huge arrogance and frivolity. The best dreamt gift for the opponent’s campaign: one punch able to change the presidential election trend, an attitude that helped to impose the Romney team narrative for -almost- two weeks (the time between the 1st and the 2nd [...]
The first episode took us all into a challenger KO and the spectators -67 million American viewers- were sensitive at Governor Romney’s performance. The narrative of a Republican victory is not just a “frenzy” of Mr. Dick Morris, but it’s beginning to be credible, desired and the published polls only accentuate the trend: nationally [...]
A -calculated- bewilderment and a -very trained- surprise. The best on stage Romney we’ve never seen before: ready to go, eager to master the scene, fresh, agile, confident, secure, rhythmic, didactic and often witty with the answers, respectful – seductive? – and very smiling character. The way he looked and hugged his family [...]
The election has already begun and the first votes have begun to be cast in the ballot boxes. Both campaigns were operating in a stand-by mode, waiting for the Debating Month to begin -the biggest & best trained in History political show ever. The Republican campaign needs a major punch. Polls show [...]
This election week has not changed substantially the dynamics of the campaign. Some Republicans raised their voices to question the strategy and the Romney leadership meanwhile the Republican candidate followed the User’s guide putting a good smile while defending he has the best possible campaign. But the key battleground states polls confirm there’s no [...]
After Conventions period, the campaign lives a lower tension time looking ahead for the presidential debates in October. This is a risky moment if any campaign downs the guard. This week campaign narrative began with a double punch: Obama outspent Romney on August fundraising ($ 114 vs. $ 111 million) after 3 [...]
Democrats closed the convention with an optimistic look, a half smile and the conviction that after the 3 ½ Charlotte days, although this is a close election, they are a step closer to the November 6 victory. It is too soon to know exactly the effect of the Democratic Convention in the permanent [...]
It’s too early to know whether the Republican Convention has achieved the goal of: serving as a real platform for the candidates to make a quantitative and qualitative improvement in the polls; increasing knowledge of the candidates and their sympathy towards them and won voters perception (own, independent and undecided) in the polls. But [...]
