Um, where were his "faith" and his "upbringing" and his "Donnie and Marie" campaign during the Republican primaries against the conservative candidates? Maybe if someone could convince him that Obama's the choice of the Tea Party, he'd cry "Havoc!" and let loose the dogs of war -- the way he did in the primaries.
I know and agree, why go hard against your own but be afraid against the opponents?
Maybe it's because the primary was supposed to be about targeting a much smaller population of just Republicans, and now Romney's trying to attract the middle? But he's still being too timid on the national stage, where the priimary was intra-party.
He can take only so many body blows before he falls too far behind. He can't count on an Obama rope-a-dope.
For whatever reason one attributes to it, he can't fight like he's Orrin Hatch or he will lose. If Obama is campaigning like he's Alan Grayson, Romney needs to fight like he's Allen West, but he's not.
Not yet, anyway. I hope that others are right that he's waiting for the convention and the nomination, and a VP at his side before unleashing the Romney that we saw in the primaries.
