33: Opponents

Define our opponents as early as possible in the process.

Other Information:

Define the D's Early and Track ‘Em -- The Democrats played in our primaries and spent more money than ever before attacking Governor Romney and other Republicans. They tried to pick our nominees and soften up our candidates early in the process. Our friends and allied groups already do some of this, but we strongly recommend our side actively seeks to define our opponents as early as possible in the process.

Stakeholder(s):

  • Conservative GroupsWell-funded conservative groups should seek to hire activists to track Democrat incumbents and candidates with video cameras constantly recording their every movement, utterance, and action. Within the applicable legal constraints, we need to create our own video content, bank it, and release it when it suits our candidates' needs. An allied group dedicated solely to research to establish a private archive and public website that does nothing but post inappropriate Democrat utterances and act as a clearinghouse for information on Democrats would serve as an effective vehicle for affecting the public issue debate.
