True but I'm now starting to conclude he's incapable of doing that. I don't think he has it in him to blunt the types of attacks on him that Obama's making. First and foremost is that Bush's mess is still being cleaned up and Romney's going back to Bush. He has no ability to articulate exactly why Obama's wrong. I get the feeling he doesn't think there's any point in trying. In fact I just heard on the radio that Romney seemed to back away from his tax cut proposal in an Ohio campaign stop.
And it can be as simple as: "Mr. Obama's theory requires that we believe we have 23 million unemployed because we don't pay enough taxes. Americans are smarter than that."
Romney can also easily point out that lower taxes and less regulation resulted in the longest economic growth - into the Clinton years - when implemented by Reagan.
Anyway, I believe it can be done, I've heard Romney do it. Doing it right at the right time in a debate will be something to look for.
thanks for your reply.
