Subject: RE: BS: Ralph Nader Opinion
My bet? The Democrats are waiting till after the conventions... and the debates (if Romney doesn't chicken out of HAVING debates).
1)The electorate has a short attention span with all that is going on. They will remember what is said in Oc. & Nov.
2)What will be said in debates in Oct & Nov will be heard on ALL channels... not just Fox News.(if Romney doesn't chicken out of HAVING debates) The contrast should be interesting.
3)I really expect that the 'forceful' rhetoric from the left, using the big guns, will be employed in increasing volleys late in the Summer and...after the conventions - to be timed with the debates (if Romney doesn't chicken out of HAVING debates).
4)If Romney does chicken out of HAVING debates, fearing the contrast, that will be one more big shell for the guns.
5)I kinda expect that the current foot-in-mouth disease afflicting many Republicans will turn out to be incurable as panic about who they have nominated sinks in..... and no one with any status seems to be available for the VP slot.
