The problem I see is that Mitt’s only selling point is that “he’s not Obama”, hard to win an election that way.

Just the fact that “ he is not Obama” is enough to motivate anyone who thinks. Our nation is collapsing on all fronts under Obama. His “Wag the Dog” stunt recently has jeopardized national security.

Obama won because he was not Bush or the third term of Bush as represented by McCain. The "Anybody but Bush" campaign by the Dems was very effective. We must make this a referendum on Obama and his policies.

What I would like to see are more attacks against Obama's personal narrative. They would reasonate. Poll after poll indicates how many people have doubts about Obama's religion, birth certificate, associations with the likes of Ayers and Rev. Wright etc. Obama is very vulnerable there and it will get him off his game in much the same way that the Swift Boat vets for Truth froze Kerry like a deer in the headlights for almost a month. Romney doesn't have to do it, but he could use surrogates like the SuperPacs to go after Obama.

The Obama campaign had no compunction about attacking Romney over Bain and his tax returns and there is an undercurrent of anti-Mormon attacks. Romney should not act like McCain. Nothing should be off limits given the stakes in this election. The survival of this country will hinge on the results. This is our last shot.

Obama won in 2008 running a “I’m not Bush” campaign.
