NRA trumps OFA
national Review Online –
Andrew Stiles
Conservative critics argue
that OFA’s troubles reveal a hard truth about Obama that Democrats tend to
overlook: The president’s personal
popularity does not extend to his policies. “It just shows that many people
wiling to carry the Obama campaign sign have no interest in getting activated
on behalf on his policy goals,” says Jonathan Collegio, communications
director for American Crossroads.
NRA president David Keene
concurs. “They’re learning that when you put together something like they did
for Obama, it’s hard to translate that into other activities,” he tells National
Review Online. “They believed they had put together this machinery that they
could use for darn near anything, and that just wasn’t true.”
“Democrats are mistaken to
think there is broad public support for their policy platform,” he says. “The
question is whether Obama can turn the enthusiasm that he generates in an
election context into a governing context in the off years, and to date every
attempt at this has failed.”
