This slogan plays right into Romney's hands. One of Romney's biggest attacks of Obama is that he's running a diversionary campaign: Obama will do anything to deflect from his record. This slogan proves it. It's a transparent attempt to get people to ignore Obama's economic failures and look "forward." You couldn't really combat the "change" slogan because it was all about the future. "Forward," on the other hand, is much easier to undermine.

Come on now. Republicans criticizing Obama's diversionary slogan is no different than Democrats harping on every single thing Romney says as if it's some gaffe. It's all fair game.

Likewise.

Funny thing is, none of us will stop. If y'all won't, we won't. If we won't, y'all won't. So please don't be naive enough to think you can offer me some type of "above the fray" prescription.

You're operating under the premise that I'm the only one who "spins." I'm not. And I'm not going to leave Democrat spin unanswered.

And how can one not make intellectually shallow arguments about an intellectually shallow campaign slogan?

That question would best be asked of the entire board.
