Print Patrick Caddell Read Full Bio Debate: What Romney Did, What Obama Didn't, What Ryan Should--And How Romney Can Win Mitt Romney could win this thing, no thanks to his campaign. And Obama could lose this thing, because he doesn’t seem to be connected to his campaign. 7 Oct 2012 Romney Must Go on Offense on Media, Middle East Romney needs to keep reminding the American people that the MSM are trying to decide this election for them, handing another four years to the incumbent. And so, Romney could argue, if people don’t want to live under a media dictatorship, they should disclaim the media and vote for him. While it might seem counter-intuitive for him to divide his fire, attacking both Obama and the MSM, the reality is that the political energy he would gain from attacking the unpopular media would more than compensate for any division of fire. 28 Sep 2012 The Audacity of Cronyism: Jarrett, Plouffe, and Donilon It’s hard to know which is worse: the arrogance of the Obama administration in assuming that its White House staffers can get away with anything, or the apathy of the media in not holding those staffers accountable. 8 Sep 2012 The Urgency Imperative: Reagan vs. Carter Then, Romney vs. Obama Now If Republicans want to win, they need to get past longer-term issues, such as Medicare, and back onto the big prize of 2012--economic growth and a positive and transformative vision for the future. Fifty years ago, JFK declared that it was time to “get the country moving again.” He won. Thirty years ago, Reagan made the same argument. He won, too. And now this newest R-Team has the same opportunity, although they have yet to grasp it fully. Thus this election sits on a knife edge. 2 Sep 2012 White House Aide David Plouffe Takes Money Indirectly from Iran -- and Nobody Seems to Notice What if, during the gathering-storm decade of the 1930s, a senior White House aide in the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration had been found to have taken big money from a company dealing closely with the Nazis? Would it would have been a huge scandal? Of course it would. 22 Aug 2012 White House Leaks: What Does Axelrod Know, and How Does He Know It? So is David Axelrod now in charge of the investigation into the May-June leaks that have jeopardized our troops and undermined our national security in what is arguably the single greatest breach of sensitive national security information in the modern era? Or has Axelrod, the top adviser at Obama’s re-election campaign, merely been briefed on the status of that investigation--ahead of the proper authorities, and ahead of the general public? In any case, how could it be that a political operative is now speaking out on perhaps the most sensitive national security matters that the nation confronts? 27 Jul 2012 EXCLUSIVE - CADDELL: Taxes and Trust - The Achilles Heels of Obamacare and Obama, Part II The Achilles Heels of Obamacare are taxes and trust. If the voters had known in 2010 what they know in 2012--that Obamacare is ObamaTax--the bill would not have passed. And Obama and the Democrats know that, too. That’s why they are still fighting over whether or not it’s a tax, or a penalty; for the sake of their own survival, they need to keep their rhetorical fog machine fogging. 10 Jul 2012 Previous 1 2 Next
