Republican Strategy

Charles Krauthammer on the GOP race:

This is no mainstream media conspiracy. This is the GOP maneuvering itself right onto Obama terrain.

The president is a very smart man. But if he wins in November, that won’t be the reason. It will be luck. He could not have chosen more self-destructive adversaries.

AM: Very smart observation. Obama will not be campaigining this year on his domestic policy record. He will go for a new issue, inequality, and present himself as the champion of the middle class. Mitt Romney is the perfect rival: a ranking member of the 1 percent. The other GOP candidates seem intent on attacking Romney's wealth also. Obama, I bet, could not be happier.
