It’s Romney’s strategy, and Obama’s handlers failed to see it coming even when Romney has done it over and over again before. He waits until a few weeks before the election, then carpet bombs his opponent. It’s how he destroyed Newt, then Santorum. Obama has spent all his money. He has a couple hundred million left in his account after spending most of it and getting no movement. No perceived “gaffes” or supposedly embarrassing recordings are going to change the race. The only place Romney can trip up is the debates, which is why he chose Ryan, so that he could demolish Biden and set a good tone.

Here’s hoping all the practice Mitt has gotten in pays off.

Same strategy as many runners in the longer races in the recent Olympics. It takes confidence in your abilities to let a few of the other runners in the race get ahead. You stay within striking distance for the final turn/stretch burst and then go all out. This strategy makes all the sense in the world when it is understood how the American public has an attention span of seconds and much of the money spent early is wasted.

If he does that in this election, he will have blown it. People start voting in the next few weeks. A significant number of ballots will have already been cast before he uncorks this "surprise."

There is only one problem with your strategy - there is something called EARLY VOTING. You better get close in a race before early voting start or you won’t win.

can’t wait for the last minute....

I sincerely hope & pray that you are right. So far (with an occasional exception) Mitt Romney has been weak & vulnerable & uninspiring. I recall in mid-Sept 2008, when lo & behold, McCain/Palin were leading 0dumb0/Bite-me by 5-7% and 0dumb0 declared he was taking the gloves off, and he did, and never looked back. McCain hunkered down into some sort of bunker mentality, gave up fighting 0dumb0 and instead allowed his campaign staff to undermine & attack Sarah Palin, the only true asset to his entire campaign.

So I can only hope & pray that you are right, and that Mitt will grow a stellar pair of iron balls, and go on a massive, advertising carpet bombing, blitzkrieg attack against 0dumb0 & his surrogates, the left-wing partisan media. Take no prisoners and issue no further apologies or nuances.
