Give a man a fish - or bait his hook?

Mitt Romney's senior advisor shakes up his boss's campaign by suggesting the candidate will reset his platform, as needed, like an 8 year-old resets an etch-a-sketch... President Obama whispers in Russian President Medvedev's ear that he'll show more flexibility after his election...

Now that we have that (a reminder that politicians are, well, politicians) out of the way, we can focus on the business at hand... Choosing the candidate whose platform best fits "our" ideology... We'll see if, as a nation, our ideology is any different today than it was almost four years ago...

As confusing as the competing narratives can be, doesn't it always narrow down to the basic "we'll give you the fish vs. we trust you to catch your own (after we bait the hook for ya)"? Or you might say; whose bait (which the informed individual [per below] will take with the proverbial grain of salt) will hook this November's voter?
