Running Against the Safety Net (Taegan Goddard's Political Wire)

David Frum: "The GOP will run on a platform crafted to be maximally obnoxious
to downscale voters. Some may hope that Tim Pawlenty's biography may cushion
the pain. Perhaps that's right, at least as compared to Mitt Romney, who in
the 2008 primaries did worst among Republicans earning less than $100,000 a
year. And yes, Pawlenty is keeping his distance from the Ryan plan. But
biography only takes you so far. The big issues of 2012 will be jobs and
incomes in a nation still unrecovered from the catastrophe of 2008-2009. What
does the GOP have to say to hard-pressed voters? Thus far the answer is: we
offer Medicare cuts, Medicaid cuts, and tighter money aimed at raising the
external value of the dollar."


"No candidate, not even if he or she is born in a log cabin, would be able to
sell that message to America's working class."
