(CNN) -- Less than 10 months from the general election, Barack Obama appears to be laying the groundwork for a reprise of Harry Truman's populist 1948 campaign.

Running for a second term with a soft economy, the president's ready to tie the Republican nominee to what he characterizes as an extreme, do-nothing Congress serving the interests of the wealthy elite at the expense of the broad middle class.

But if Obama is Truman, does that make GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney the next Tom Dewey? Maybe -- at least as far as public persona goes. There are several striking similarities between the former Massachusetts governor and the ill-fated New Yorker who led the GOP to defeat in 1944 and 1948.

"Today, the wealthy Romney is mocked for hitting the trail with Gap skinny jeans and an unbuttoned collar shirt."

Kerry pulled this same kind of stunt and look where it got him. Let's put on our fake orange tan and have a kegger after we get done windsurfing. I'm hip. I'm cool.
