Things sure turned quickly. Mitt’s team was bring lauded by many just a couple short weeks ago for their good messaging and rapid response team.
It’s chaos. Matt Rhoades married a girl 2 weeks ago so Matt Drudge is mad. Eric Fehrnstrom is taking advantage of the discord. Beth Myers is pushing Chris Christie as VP and now Ann Romney is saying they’re going to pick a woman. Amateur hour like you wouldn’t believe.
A couple of months ago I was ripped for a statement that Romney was a lousy campaigner.
I believe the last month has shown how weak a candidate Romney is. We can all call Obama names and hate his policies but the one thing you can’t say is he is a bad politician. The democrats have been ready for two years to run against mittens. Before the conventions it is imparitive to define yourself as a candidate. What has happened? In every case the democrats are defining Romney and he is playing defense. Is it a tax or a penalty? Who cares? The Policy is what matters.
There has not been a national poll ( discounting tracking polls) that shows Romney is leading. The electorate is pretty stable. You have to articulate your positions. I want a leader and all he does is sit back say Obama sucks. Ok but if you do not come out and say what you are for it shows weakness. The off shore crap is going to kill him in Midwest . Outsourcing? Yeah way to come out fighting on that. He lets the Dems beat him up and does not swing.
I am not optimistic he can turn it around. We have 5 jobs reports left. Tomorrow’s looks better than expected. Without a surprise I believe this will be the high water mark for mittens in the polls.
I am not sure I can hold my nose and vote for him.
