Campaign Quarterbacking

It is being reported that a strategy in Romney’s play book for the first debate is to defend his reputation by rebutting the mischaracterizations made by Obama’s campaign. The pundits however are all advising Romney that if he wants to win he should forget about defending his personal character and focus on policy, the economy and connecting with the voters. The Apostle Paul comes to mind and I’m not sure the Corinthians would have been as responsive to his message had he not first defended his character and expounded on his credentials. “…I have worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again”. (2 Cor 11:23b NIV)

Gail;

-----You’re so right. Mitt must defend himself, first, out of honor and respect for the truth, then out of honor and respect for the people, and finally for the sake of his campaign. Exhibiting those three purposes in the sense of his defense would be wise. They are the concerns of god leadership. So also Paul was straight forward about the reason he made his defense.

Love you all,
