David Axelrod: ‘Reign Of Terror’ Has Taken Hold Of Republicans In Congress By Bill Trott WASHINGTON, April 22 (Reuters) – Republicans in the U.S. Congress are under a “reign of terror” imposed by the party’s conservative wing that also has pushed presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney to the right, President Barack Obama’s senior campaign strategist said on Sunday. David Axelrod, in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” program, cited the Obama administration’s plans for immigration reform as an example of Republican intransigence in Congress. The political process in Washington should not be “monolithic opposition to everything the chief executive wants to do as a political strategy,” Axelrod said, adding that an “implacable group of Republicans” had blocked any possibility of immigration reform. “I think there are a lot of Republicans in Congress who want to cooperate … but they’re in the thralls of this reign of terror from the far right that has dragged the party to the right,” he said. “Governor Romney and the party have gone way off to the right,” he added. On NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Axelrod said that if Obama is re-elected, some Republicans would be more willing to work with him. Axelrod said Romney, the former Massachusetts governor in line to be the Republican challenger to Obama’s re-election in the Nov. 6 election, has nothing new to offer voters. “People don’t know Mitt Romney very well,” he said on CNN. “They see a businessman.

Sarkozy Election Strategy 04/19/2012 12:08:49
UPDATE: French Bond Sale Smooth But Election Raises Concerns – WSJ.com The ‘Pretty Woman’ strategy for political victory – baltimoresun.com There’s a scene in the movie “Pretty Woman” where the kindhearted hooker played by Julia Roberts asks her client, portrayed by Richard Gere : “Who do you want me to be?” Regardless of who she might really be, she realizes that it’s far less attractive than a tabula rasa onto which her client can project his own desires, and around which she can then build a tailor-made, palatable persona. It’s essentially the same principle that dating-and-mating books recommend adopting when suggesting that women retain an air of mystery at the outset of a relationship and be the first to hang up in phone conversations with a man. The idea underpinning these contortions is that whoever you truly are is less attractive than whatever someone can project onto you, so you should let them continue to dream about who and what you might be for as long as possible so you can rope them in.
