On political rhetoric and conservative strategy:

• David Frum, Waterloo — FrumForum, March 2010
  • "[T]he gap between this plan and traditional Republican ideas is not very big. The Obama plan has a broad family resemblance to Mitt Romney’s Massachusetts plan. It builds on ideas developed at the Heritage Foundation in the early 1990s that formed the basis for Republican counter-proposals to Clintoncare in 1993-1994."

Quotes and Notes:

• "Barack Obama is the most verbally exact politician I have ever seen." — states things with careful precision, and allows others to infer what he may not have actually said — (a knack sometimes referred to as "strategic ambiguity").
• At 10:45 – approx. 2 min segment: "Barack Obama has mastered one of the most fundamental rules of television today: He who loses his temper loses the debate … His stature is elevated by his refusal to criticize … [While] people like Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich are marginalized."
