....The polls suggesting he’s seven or nine points behind are surely wrong, but given that there is only one national poll that shows him ahead, we have to presume Romney is behind. He should presume he’s behind. And given that there’s no good reason whatever for Obama to be leading, one can only presume that Romney’s strategy in July and now in August is not working.
Which is why the “we only talk about the economy” line, while superficially clever, was and is so foolish—stupid, even. Of course Romney wants to focus on that one issue. It’s the one that hurts Obama the most, and the one on which he seems to score the best. He and his team have an idea about the campaign. They need to win independents to win. Independents are less ideological. So don’t press the ideological buttons. Keep it simple....
Romney and his people prefer this strategy because it’s what is most comfortable to them. He is not, at root, an ideological person. Neither, at root, are they. And the data suggest this is not a time for a sharply ideological campaign. The data suggest Romney needs to run as Mr. Fix-It. That is how Romney prefers to view himself. So the two match perfectly.
Alas for him, that’s not how it works. If conservative ideology is a problem with some independents, it also has the virtue of providing those who use it to discuss the nation’s problems with a pulse. Romney has just learned over the past few weeks that he cannot limit the discussion to the topics he wishes to talk about, especially when his rival is spending $100 million trying to destroy him in the swing states and when the media are largely serving his [0bama's] purposes....

Do you always pop off at someone when you can’t make a moral decision?
If you don’t think feeding little boys to homosexuals is evil then vote for Mitt.
;)
Your so called morality results in Obama for a second term, spare me your self claimed piety.
The REASON: Myth Romney's agenda against Conservatives.
"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"
"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"
"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"
"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"
"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"

mitt might have a chance if he truly believed in the social issues that he claims that he does at this point in his life... he could explain, educate and win over those that have not heard the truth. He has missed opportunity after opportunity to compare and contrast the proper path with the path that we are on. Chick-Fil-A was a 2 billion dollar gift that he peed on and zipped up and left on the side of the road.
mitt is most likely going to lose... because he is all of the things that you say he needs to be. He is losing badly today... mitt knows it... rove knows it... and now gallup, fox and several others know it. If he doesn't change and make a drastic shift... he is going to lose without a doubt. He has a chance to win... he has shown no interest in taking a successful direction. My bet is that he will be mitt... a proven loser. LLS
Okay then. I'll put him right up there with Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot. No, make that Jeffrey Dahmer.
They have been whuppin’ on us a bit.
LLS
Too funny. Same s#*t, different election.
Bingo. Pubbies doing what Pubbies do. Putting on the regularly scheduled election “conservative in costume” street act while living like democrats.
No, make it Penn State.
You willing to vote for men who look the other way when men take little boys into the showers?
There is no difference.
If Obama gets a second term it will be your fault.
When you go belly up for the elite Republicans you are responsible for the outcome.
>”You willing to vote for men who look the other way when men take little boys into the showers?”<
No, and I don’t beat my Wife either.
You are way of out line Donna. You don’t like Romney’s stance on Gays, then say so. Making up ridiculous accusations as in your previous Posts sounds like the kind of stuff Liberals do.
If you Post back to me, it had better be to apologize. Otherwise, don’t bother Posting to me again..
Seems to be a minority opinion among Republicans now days.
I can’t apologize for the true - but you are certainly free to deny it.

Mitt Romney stands by a 1994 statement that the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) should admit homosexuals to the organization, as members or adult supervisors, according to a campaign spokesperson.
