A real turd would fall apart if held out of water like that.
The history of incumbents being challenged suggests that if Obama wanted a comfortable win over Romney, he would need to be well ahead at this point. His ignorant mudballs are hilariously failing to garner him such a lead. If I were to be utterly Machiavellian, I would tell Obama to attack Romney as being too liberal.
I agree, but then I see ‘analysis’ (read: Obama’s free PR agency) pieces like this and shake my head in disbelief:

Somethin' ain't right with this story. Either that, or you can e-mail me in Tierra del Fuego after November. Come on. We're Americans. We couldn't be this stupid. Could we?
Not only that but history shows that no incumbent president has ever won reelection by a smaller margin than their first election!
