Romney is letting Obama define him and is in reactive mode. He needs to attack Obama like he attacked his primary opponents.

Romney is “no more Mr. Niceguy” against conservatives. Against fellow Progressives he shows professional courtesy. This is hurting him.

Like no one other than the GOP-E could see this one coming.

Romney was able to vastly out-spend and out-attack his primary opponents.

Now he is up against an incumbent who can nearly match his fundraising AND who also has the compliant media on his side.

Seriously, what kind of idiots run the Romney campaign? Did they honestly think that these issues, allowed to pass during the primary, would not be dragged front and center once Romney was the presumptive nominee? Why were they not dealt with long, long ago?

Too many voters simply will not have empathy with Romney. As horrible as Obama is, the GOP-E managed to nominate the one candidate worst-suited to run against him.

Romney lost his way with conservatives and chances to rally the party’s base. He is becoming persona non grata. I fear in many ways he is worse than McCain. Because when all was said and done McCain chose Palin. Romney is not close to Palin at all and id the Daily Best/Newsweek post is right he is against not on Palin but all conservatives. So unlike McCain, Romney is not trying to reach out to us. So he is falling apart. Nobody likes him. Not exactly the right person to replace Obama or take him on.

And a week ago it was all downhill for Obama. What childish whining. Did conservatives think there wouldn’t be a campaign? It’s not Romney who’s a wimp, it’s childish conservatives. But then this is NOT unusual, in every election many freepers panic as soon as the conservative is attacked. Heck, half of you believe the attacks until calmer minds prevail.

People will not reelect Barack Obam simply because Romney’s former company outsourced some work.

If a Repub were president with this economy, the MSM would be running nothing but sob stories as to how the Pres’s economic policies have hurt so many. Everyday every media would be on it all the time. In this case the impact is so deep and extensive that such stories would be accurate and reflect the level of hopelessness particularly among the young. But we get nothing. The MSM work overtime to protect Hussain’ rear.

Romney doesn’t want to ruin his chances of replacing Biden.

Back in 1999-2003, Romney didn't believe that people in 2012 would still be offended by and opposed to abortion. Back then, he saw an opportunity to profit in the abortion "industry" (Stericycle) and he thought he could do so without jeopardizing his future political options.

He knows now that abortion will always be opposed by mainstream America. So, now Romney is forced to pretend he's pro-life. And, he's also forced to try to bury his past involvement in the for-profit "business" of abortion.

That's the nature of his Bain problem and it isn't going to just go away.

More like the summer blockbuster and sequel......”BAIN! THE RETURN OF HALIBURTON”. The story of another corporate name morphed into an evil enterprise that destroys jobs, takes money from the middle class, and starves children. Starring Mitt Romney and cameo appearances by Dick Cheney.

Obama spent $100 million in swing states attacking Romney on Bain Capital and the media have chimed in. And yet Obama hasn’t moved the needle in terms of electoral support in polls. I’d say it’s Obama who’s having the bad summer.

My biggest FEAR in this election is Mitt Romney making John McCain or the equally boring Joe Lieberman his V.P.
