Is it just me or is Romney busy McCaining this election? Karl Rove, also on Fox, is explaining that this is exactly what Romney should be doing. I am flummoxed. Can anyone explain Romney's "strategy," (if you can call it that).

Obama has a piss poor record and is desperately trying to get Romney into a mudslinging battle to distract the voters.

Obama knows that he has the ultimate megaphone in the MSM so that any points he scores will be recycled endlessly by the media and any points that Romney scores will be ignored.

Romney needs to stick to his vision for the future and let the superpacs expose Obama's failures.

0bama’s group will make chit up just like with W. And with Palin.

After all, if 0bama loses, they’re going to get visits from the money and power that brought them to DC anyway, and 0bama will have to hide out in his new bunker below the White House.

Romney needs Sarah’s attack plan right now. Too bad he was so concerned with attacking her that he can’t use her expertise.

Ridicule, ridicule, ridicule.

As for a VP, Romney needs to go West.

Confucius say: Insult leads to injury.

If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.
- Sun Tzu, the Art of War

“The art of using troops is this:
......When ten to the enemy’s one, surround him;
......When five times his strength, attack him;
......If double his strength, divide him;
......If equally matched you may engage him;
......If weaker numerically, be capable of withdrawing;
......And if in all respects unequal, be capable of eluding him,
..........for a small force is but booty for one more powerful.”
- Sun Tzu, the Art Of War

The wind makes a great deal of noise at times. No matter how loud it gets; it is still without meaning. The only transparent projection Obama has failed to turn into an attack is that Romney is half black and half white.

It needsto be remembered that Romney can’t use any of his campaign money until after he is officially the nominee. Right now he is limited to primary campaign money.

I can't. The only reply that I could think of would be to say...
Do you see me in handcuffs? Am I behind bars?

Where's the arrest?

As I type these words, there's an anti-Romney ad on the boob tube.

What are they (the Dems) going to do? They're doing what they've always done. Characterize the Republican as a rich, greedy b..... who (sniff, sniff, sob) just doesn't care for the poor and unfortunate. And oppressed. Why I bet Romney doesn't even have a SUPPORT DIVERSITY! sign in his office. The Dems are grasping for straws, and against a bland candidate like the Mittster, they've going back in the archive and simply doing what they've always done.

They are defining him - it is just starting. He’s a wimp. Still waiting for his staff to tell him what to do.

Demspeak is straight from Atlas Shrugged. When I read that book I always felt like the language was over the top.

I think Romney is employing a good strategy. Obama has already spent over 100 million and now he is being forced to go overseas for campaign contributions. That is a commercial writing itself.

Soon Obama will go on vacation. When that happens, Romney will open up a can of whoopass. Still too early and no one right now is paying attention.

Obama is doing this for only 1 reason. He has to hold his base together and this is the only way he can do it.

One thing the dems have going for them is message discipline. The repubs already have people jumping to the other side aboubt Romney`s tax records, while saying nothing About 0bama`s college transcripts, etc.
