A chorus of prominent conservative voices is worrying aloud that Republican candidate Mitt Romney's play-it-safe strategy is jeopardizing his chance to win the presidency.
As President Barack Obama's campaign intensifies criticism of Romney's background, influential Republicans — right-leaning leaders in business and the media — charge that Romney's message on the economy and other issues is short on detail and muddled at best.
In an editorial Thursday, The Wall Street Journal said the Romney campaign is "slowly squandering an historic opportunity."
"The Romney campaign thinks it can play it safe and coast to the White House by saying the economy stinks and it's Mr. Obama's fault," the newspaper said. "We're on its email list and the main daily message from the campaign is that 'Obama isn't working.' Thanks, guys, but Americans already know that. What they want to hear from the challenger is some understanding of why the president's policies aren't working and how Mr. Romney's policies will do better."
The harsh critique comes as Romney nears the end of a weeklong vacation at his New Hampshire lakeside home, where he has been almost totally out of the public eye, except for a brief Fourth of July appearance. Polls show Obama slightly leading Romney nationally and in several states that are critical in the hunt to reach the 270 electoral votes needed to win the Nov. 6 election.

Kerry caught hell because he looked like a dope on that surfboard.
Flaunting wealth??
What he is carrying is a "Boogy Board". I have at least 5 of them hanging up in my garage. My wife kids and I used them when we would go to Forida in the summer.
By the way I'm not rich either.
Megga Dittoes to that!
You are the complete RINO trying to appeal to the mushy middle because you are embarrassed by true conservatism. I may not like Romney, but nobody is going to argue he wasn't successful and for that he shouldn't apologize. Take your commie Bourgeois crap somewhere else. We love success and capitalism.
BTW, who says Blue Collar voters won’t vote for the wealthy? Some CNN poll, me smells a Plant.
Pray for America
No, we have a single standard you have the double standard. We celebrate success and achievement, we don't hide it like Kerry tried to do.I agree.You are the complete RINO trying to appeal to the mushy middle because you are embarrassed by true conservatism.

Get a clue, Romneyite.
I could run a better campaign than this. R-Money on the jet ski is insane!
WTF!
I am in the Bronx NY. you know what. - if Romney started campaigning in the streets, in the heat, pounding the pavement, going outside his comfort zone of Whitelandia he would destroy Obama.
Your falling for the Obama media bs hook line and sinker and spreading this nonsense .
