The media is a big part of it.
But, the real fault lies with Romney. He is campaigning like McCain and Dole, when he has to be campaigning like Reagan.
If Romney should pull this off, I swear, it will be against his will. This is exactly what an empty suit looks like. He wants to be handed things, but fights for nothing. It’s just impolite.
Poor Ryan. Stuck with a rubber raft when we need a gun ship.
agree to a large extent...when Romney had the ballsy move to hold a press conference in front of the bankrupt Solyndra facility i thought, “great- finally!!”...its been a rather weak kneed response since...
Romney hasn’t had a chance yet to debate the punk. Give him a chance.
This Wednesday evening we get to see—in the flesh—the difference between a mature, successful businessman and a narcissistic, affirmative action fraud.
It’s been a long time, four years since we’ve seen competence. Patience. And the MSM polls? Ne carborundum illegitimati sint.
Sometimes FR is like the girls cabin at summer camp with a garter snake in a corner. Let’s stop the squealing. It’s scaring the little kids.
Romney’s got to be on the attack, not the defensive. He needs to produce strong, hard-hitting, anti-Obama ads. When the media is offended or threatened by anti-Obama ads, they’ll cover them and try to debunk them. That just ends up giving the ads free airtime, and taking time away that they would otherwise spend attacking Romney directly. Just look at the swift boat ads. Everyone in the country heard about them through the media and the media had less time to point out flaws about Bush when they were busy trying to “debunk” the ads.
Exactly! If the media can control a Romney campaign then they will be able to control a Romney Presidency.
