It's not called "defeatism". It's called reality. Romney needs to do much better or defeat will be the word of the day in November.
Why, because Obama has consistently been up in garbage polls that say states like AZ, NC, SC,and IN are swing states?
Obama’s spent tons of money for months, and has gotten marginal results so far.
Sure, Romney hasn’t been on the attack constantly, and I find that concerning, but he also doesn’t have the help of foreign national bundlers like Obama did in 2008.
If Romney still is on the defensive and letting Obama wail on him after summer ends, then I’ll be really concerned.
