Inside Mitt Romney's Mind

[Peter Parka]

Have no idea about what's going on in the lead up to the election or who this guy is, prehaps you could enlighten me. Also it seems to be a given that Obama won't get a second term which kind of surprises me. From what I've seen he came in with a bang and could be going out with a wimper but he dosen't seem that bad to me. Sure, I think he's proved to be more talk than action but he hasn't horredously fucked up, just been a bit blah' I guess. Care to fill me in?

[h=1]Inside Mitt Romney's Digital Mind[/h] BY Nick Judd | Thursday, January 19 2012
From the rise of voters who can only be reached online to increased use of mobile devices and social media, Zac Moffatt recently spoke to Atlantic correspondent Nancy Scola about what it's like running digital for the campaign that now seems poised to confront Barack Obama for the presidency:

Romney's strategy requires homing in on people we're they live online -- and often, in 2012, they can only be reached online. "We call them off-the-gridders," says Moffatt. "We buy advertising for people who don't watch live television any more. We have to find ways to get them to watch our video online. We have an active engagement with Hulu, with YouTube. We're seeing that again and again in our polling and focus tests: people haven't been seeing our TV spots, but they know what they are, because they've seen them on Hulu. It's a testament to a new model of consumption. Governor Romney gets it. He's on the road all the time. He doesn't get to sit in front of the TV. He has his iPad, and when he gets home, he probably has a DVR that lets him skip ads. How else would we get to him?"

I see Romney as a guy interviewing for the grandest of all CEO positions, and he will treat the Office of President as such, getting marching orders from his Board of Directors who pay him through campaign contributions and doing his best to make them richer and more powerful. Not that the net result would be significantly different from Obama or Gingrich.

I think you have described what the Office of the President has devolved to and I would suggest the office has met this description for as far back as at least the last 5 presidents and maybe back as far as JFK.
