[quote=Anonymous]Perhaps the way to approach things like this is to start with the hypothesis that Karl Rove planned it and that his motivation was not entirely straightforward.  For example, he would be totally aware that even the least sophisticated voters would be smart enough to realize that what a candidate ate as a kid is irrelevant to his ability to govern.  But for everyone to be reminded that he spent those years in a totally foreign environment reminds everyone that this guy is different from you and me.

So the question for me is whether the Dems will try to bring up subtle reminders that Romney's family spent a couple of generations in Mexico because polygamy became illegal here, or that Mitt did his missionary work in (YUK!) France.  And if they do try it, can they do it as well as Rove?

And perhaps even more important, can they manage to keep us thinking about things like Ann's two Caddies, the car elevator in one of their homes, the team owners he pals around with as his idea of a regular guy's interest in sports, and all the ways he is even more different from you and me than the guy who spent a few years in Asia as a kid?

Or will Obama say "Screw that, let's talk policy"?  The glory of modern politics is that Obama and Romney can both say that, secure in the knowledge that the "independent" super pacs will tke care of business for them.[/quote]
