The job for Democrats in this election

Is to get the exact truth out about their policies and accomplishments.
The job for Republicans is to obfuscate and hide the truth about their policies,
so no one notices what they are really trying to do and who they benefit.

I think this is the essence of what is going on. The public needs to understand the truth about Dem versus GOP Medicare policy,
about obamacare, about tax policy, about women's issues, about voting rights, etc. If they understand the truth, they will vote for Democrats; if they believe the GOP lies about Democratic policies and accept the vague non-answers about the GOP policies, they will vote Republican.

Show that Ryan's policies are the exact same policies of Akin's. To keep making the connection between Ryan and Akin.

Obama's staff are going to do this.
