This may be Romney’s best strategy. You have to consider the electorate. Fer cryin’ out loud! He has to appeal to people who were actually stupid enough to vote for Zippy in 2008. So regardless of his ideology, regardless of his ideas or lack of them, maybe laying low when it looks like he’s leading is a good strategy.
That’s what I would do.
If you’re heading for victory, don’t make any sudden moves that could send you off course.
He’s using Ryan as his attack dog ever so gently riding the fence and getting the true message across, good tactic.
