The areas in which I fear the Left is kicking some Right behind in the presidential push for 2008:
- marketing - Republican candidates are not getting their names and faces out there in the media! Everyday something different's happening with Obama or Clinton or Edwards....and for my internship here the most recent videos about Giuliani to post on columns is "Giuliani girl returns to Milwakee." ... or we can use the story about Giuliani's daughter backing Obama...that's a great one too - Sheesh...
- debates - Republican candidates received an invitation to debate at a gay-rights organization and they declined. WHY?!?! That decline was one more reason for gay-supporters to stay on the Left and think we Republicans are unaccepting (which we are unfortunately) to their organization. And democrats took advantage of the door we walked away from and after the Human Rights debate last night, they got the press this morning. Point democrats.
- appeal - I swear, it's like the Republican candidates are trying to come off as old fogies....and they're doing a great job! They're not making themselves attractive to the entire national public. They're basically only focusing on already-republicans, which is fine for the short-sighted future. But are any Republican candidates thinking past the primary yet?! I think most of them are just praying to get to win the primary - the next step they haven't even started thinking about yet is: how in hell are they going to defeat Hillary?!
So which Republican candidate am I backing? I can't make up my mind. First immediate thought: Giuliani. But then again we have to wait for Fred Thompson to make his move....who is another distraction from the already-announced candidates. Fred - just do it already. In a totally unlady like remark, "[poop], or get off the pot."
