Obama Dragged This Campaign Into The Gutter
His comfort zone.
With a few exceptions, Romney has maintained that Obama is a bad
president who has turned to desperate tactics to try to save himself.
But Romney has not made the case that Obama is a bad person, nor made a
sustained critique of his morality a central feature of his campaign.
Obama, who first sprang to national attention with an appeal to
civility, has made these kind of attacks central to his strategy. The
argument, by implication from Obama and directly from his surrogates, is
not merely that Romney is the wrong choice for president but that there
is something fundamentally wrong with him.
To make the case, Obama and his aides have used an arsenal of
techniques — personal ridicule, suggestions of ethical misdeeds and
aspersions against Romney’s patriotism — that many voters and
commentators claim to abhor, even as the tactics have regularly proved
effective.
