[QUOTE="av8torntn, post: 1015596, member: 8259"] What balanced approach? They have a record of increasing government spending, increasing government regulation, and increasing taxes. I would think they would run from their record much like Romney will run from his healthcare law. One thing can be said for certain is that the Obama approach has blown the deficit up. He has given the opposition a perfect opportunity to ask why give them more money as they have clearly demonstrated an inability to manage what we've already given them. It's going to be a difficult sell for Obama to label them as radical when it's already been said so many times that his healthcare law was modeled after Romney's and he's also claimed that Ryan has had some good ideas and praised him for bringing ideas to the debate. I do however think you will see campaign surrogates start to claim that more, and more but they will just be giving Romney ready made campaign ads. I think that if that is all his campaign has he will sink faster than the titanic. That is one reason you see them try and fabricate this war on women thing they've got going on. It's almost full blown campaign season and we will see all types of silliness but I highly doubt you will see Obama do much campaigning on his record. You will of course see some limited self praising and half truths but his record likely will not be what would get him reelected. One thing Romney can do is take Obama's lead when he basically campaigned as not being Bush and campaign as not being Obama. It seems to be much easier to attack a record than it is to defend one.
