- The fact they won't do the Democratic side of '08 is strange. - Mel Profit Dec 11, 19:06 3
  - you don't have to pull any punches with the losing candidate. it's a little trickier with a sitting president. -- nm - mafic Dec 11, 19:48
  - Yeah, it shoulda been like a 10hr series given the drama involved.... - Will Hunting Dec 11, 19:09 1

        the story of Obama in 08 and in 12 is how he has fundamentally altered the assumptions about how campaigns can or should be run - prisoner 24601 Dec 11, 19:32
      - Really? heh - prayformojo Dec 11, 19:18
  - i think there's room to do both sides of the story this time - prisoner 24601 Dec 11, 19:05
  - Romney does seem dull but they can tell Obama's side this time. - David Dec 11, 19:05 10
    - If they didn't in 2008 when you had Hillary and Obama, I don't see any drama to mine this time around - Will Hunting Dec 11, 19:09 8
      - it was a huge gamble to push 25% of their spending in the spring and summer to define Mitt as "Bain Capital Guy" - prisoner 24601 Dec 11, 19:10 7
        
        That's hardly drama though. "Oh, I'll run a defensive campaign, and define my opponent before he can" -- nm - Roger More Dec 11, 19:34 4
        
        which was looking like a foolproof plan, until the first debate - prisoner 24601 Dec 11, 19:38 3
        
        That will all be in the book, I'm sure. But if Hillary v Obama didn't make the screen last time, what won't make the cut this time? -- nm - Roger More Dec 11, 19:40 2
        
        you ignore the GOP primaries and focus on Obama v. Romney from May through November -- nm - prisoner 24601 Dec 11, 19:44 1

        He wasn't going to lack for resources in the fall; his spending reset at the convention. - Will Hunting Dec 11, 19:12 1
        
        the campaign didn't see it that way -- (link) - prisoner 24601 Dec 11, 19:16

      - I was upstairs on the way back from Melbourne. - ty97 Dec 11, 19:15 1
        
        I get a business upgrade if they're not fully sold (qantas won't let me use points to upgrade to first, have to keep the hoi polloi out, I suppose). -- nm - mafic Dec 11, 19:28
    - fun fact: cameras are one of the pieces of electronic equipment you're always allowed to use during takeoff and landing. -- nm - mafic Dec 11, 19:02 1
      - Unless you're using it to tweet something negative about the airline. ;) -- nm - tl Dec 11, 20:47
