The question is not the disarray, but what is the effectiveness of the campaign?
How has the “Romney Plan” been working out for Romney/Ryan?
Looks to me that the most likely to vote folks don’t see much difference between Obama and Romney.
The polls reflect the perceived difference between what Obama has done to America, and what Romney plans to do.
Can Romney actually say what he plans to do without comparing his plans to Obama’s?
My guess is that Romney will just continue to describe what Obama has done, and thus act as a perverse salesman FOR Obama’s base who like what Obama has done., and thus be encouraged that the Republicans are unhappy.
The Independent voter will usually vote FOR the incumbent if there is no perceived significant difference between any two candidates: “He may be a devil, but at least we know where he stands.”
Romney cannot compare his ideas to Obama’s, because that ties his and Obama’s ideas together in the mind of an undecided voter in an either-or-knot, and the undecided voter will usually choose the best known, ie, the incumbent.
Thus, it is up to Romney to sell his plan independent of anything tied to Obama. No jokes, hints, or nuances: just straight sales!
Can Romney give a speech without any direct or indirect to what Obama has done?
Can Romney stand and deliver his Romney Plan, or will he just continue to play that old nanny-nanny boo-boo game of “My plan is better than your plan! Nanny-nanny, boo-boo.”?
Tick-tock, Romney. Tick-tock.
He’s running Kerry’s campaign, Kerry said, “I have a plan”, but he never really said what it was.....Bush was very beatable, but Kerry basically ran on “Vote for me because I’m not Bush.” Just as Mitt is running on, “Vote for me because I’m not Obama.”
