Although the election is long over and the American people have spoken, we as a people must continue to voice our opinions about the future of our great nation. We, the people, have a right to be included in the discussion for a better America.

I agree with the above statement, however, given the outcome of the election, I'd say "hope" was a fairly good strategy. Though it may have been lacking in specificity or an actual game plan, a message of hope clearly resonated with Americans during this tumultuous time. A very strong conservative friend of mine said just days before the election, "I'm voting for Romney because I believe in his proposed policies and that he truly is the better option for America, but if I had to choose which candidate I'd rather have lunch with, I'd choose Obama any day." Regardless of partisan stances, Obama had a remarkable way of connecting with the average American. His charm, rhetoric and visibly genuine family interactions made him an incredibly likable candidate. For many Americans, I believe that his likability strongly affected their trust and belief in him to do his job as our nation's president in another term. Had Romney taken a similar approach, perhaps results may have differed. Leave a Reply. |
