The GOP's "genius" plan to defeat Obama is simply to talk about Obama's abysmal economic record.

If Pennsylvania Republicans and their buddies in other states execute a plan to change election rules, Obama has a one-way ticket to Losertown.
Republican state legislators in Pennsylvania are pushing a scheme that, if GOPers in other states follow their lead, could cause President Barack Obama to lose the 2012 electionnot because of the vote count, but because of new rules. That's not all: There's no legal way for Democrats to stop them.
The problem for Obama, and the opportunity for Republicans, is the electoral college. Every political junkie knows that the presidential election isn't a truly national contest; it's a state-by-state fight, and each state is worth a number of electoral votes equal to the size of the state's congressional delegation. (The District of Columbia also gets three votes.) There are 538 electoral votes up for grabs; win 270, and you're the president.
Here's the rub, though: Each state gets to determine how its electoral votes are allocated. Currently, 48 states and DC use a winner-take-all system in which the candidate who wins the popular vote in the state gets all of its electoral votes. Under the Republican planwhich has been endorsed by top GOPers in both houses of the state Legislature, as well as the governor, Tom CorbettPennsylvania would change from this system to one where each congressional district gets its own electoral vote. (Two electoral votesone for each of the state's two senatorswould go to the statewide winner.)
Nice story from a Liberal Wed Site, that sites no evidence at all, and is based entirely on the Speculation of the Liberal Writing it.
Funny.
your point? all of that began before Obama was president. instead of whining why not put your big boy pants on and stop holding things up in Washington.yes, bush and Cheney are out of office.. everything else is cake.Here's the strategy
Are you better off now then you were 3 years ago?
oh so we had record numbers of people getting food stamps record number of people below the poverty level, high unemployment rate 16 trillion dollar debt? Who would have known?
That's because there are some with thier 'big boy pants on' precisely and by design holding up Obama and the Statists doing any more damage to this Republic, The private sector and individuals.your point? all of that began before Obama was president. instead of whining why not put your big boy pants on and stop holding things up in Washington.yes, bush and Cheney are out of office.. everything else is cake.

Rules mean nothing to the GOP. If they can't win fairly - change the rules. Right out of Karl Rove's playbook.
or you folks could just steal it like you did in 2000.You guys just lost a seat that has been safely Democrat for 90 Years, By 11 points.
I don't think we even need a plan to Defeat Obama, his star has fallen.

Maybe you should think a little harder. All Weiner's old seat proves is that no incumbent is safe - regardless of party.

And 2004...

Kerry won Ohio in 2004.
Right...The Bushies knew ahead of time exactly which voting machines that they and their minions from Diebold needed to manipulate.Kerry won Ohio in 2004.
