It seems some lefties are getting worried that people might see this ad and think voting for Romney is OK.

Poll after poll, including the just-released Wall Street Journal-NBC News poll, shows that while Obama gets low marks for his fiscal stewardship, people like him personally. And much more than Romney. The WSJ-NBC survey puts Obamas favorable-unfavorable at 49 percent-43 percent and Romneys at 35 percent-49 percent.
By telling potential voters Its OK to make a change, the RNC is acknowledging all that I mention above. Its OK to like the guy personally but not vote for him again. This is not a popularity contest. Its OK to vote against the black guy. You gave him a shot. He gave it his best shot. He failed. And the most effective message is: Its OK to make a change and not be thought of as a racist.
Throughout Obamas presidency, Ive received more than a few e-mails and tweets from folks complaining that they are branded racist if they disagree with anything the president says or does. And it doesnt help matters that I have seen more than a few e-mails and tweets from ardent Obama supporters doing exactly that. I have also seen instances of this on television and in print.
Thats why the Its OK to make a change ad is the most dangerous for Obamas reelection efforts. It give those few, yet crucial, undecided voters the pass they might be looking for to vote against Obama. So, squawk all you want about the unfairness of the You didnt build it knock against Obama. Its the Its OK to make a change message that the campaign needs to counter as aggressively as the RNC is pushing it.
