The trouble is, the perception has been internalized. That's what liberals hear even if Newt is talking directly to them. So true but then they would have to have an open mind - I think the real battle is for the independents but I think that Newt's message will resonate with some traditionally liberal strongholds such as union workers. In fact the Keystone pipleine provides a great wedge issue as it supported by some major unions while being opposed by the EPAists. One reason that BO doesn't want to opine on it until after the election .another that it wold interfer with campaigning, golfs and secret parties with the mad hatter.

the perception has been internalized. Yes, as Ayn Rand used to say, "check your premises." People just won't do it.

Right, he is not a malignant narcissist. Obama will accept nomination at N.C. stadium By BYRON TAU \| 1/17/12 7:26 AM EST The Charlotte Observer reports that President Obama will formally accept the Democratic nomination at Bank of America stadium in Charlotte, N.C. — an outdoor venue: The move to the Carolina Panthers' 74,000-seat stadium would replicate the 2008 convention, where Obama accepted the nomination at a packed Invesco Field in Denver. The move, which would open the speech to the public, is designed to help mobilize voters in North Carolina, a key swing state. It could also serve as a perk to donors, who could be rewarded with skybox seats. Aside from the optics of Obama accepting the nomination at a stadium sponsored by a financial institution in a year of intense anti-Wall Street sentiment, the outdoor venue increases the risk of weather-related complications. In 2008, campaign officials gambled on good weather for a huge outdoor address in Denver, Colo. This year's speech, however, takes place during the eastern seaboard's unpredictable hurricane season.
