I do not give two craps about any Ames straw poll.

Going into this game, it is Obama's to lose.
There is a winning strategy and a losing strategy.
Time for Obama to employ that winning strategy.
In all my life, whenever I see a player, team or politician play NOT TO LOSE, they usually lose or make it way closer than it ever should have been.
Quit playing not to lose and start playing to win FOR Americans!

1. I have you beat

I don't even give ONE crap about it.

But I agree that the Obama reelection strategy(?) is similar to the "prevent defense" in football where the team that is leading gives up a lot of short passes in the closing minutes but defends against the long bomb. It often backfires if the offensive team is able to use the clock and the sideline wisely.

They need to put the idiot jeezus party on the defensive. A good first step would be to can that idiotic "Win the Future" (or WTF) slogan and come up with something that makes the republicans look like the religious wack jobs and corporate shills that they are.
