Who are these “Republican Lawmakers”. Just give their names, because if it’s McCain or Brown, we respectfully won’t take the advice of RINOS.

Romney is doing better than the +10 Dem sampled polls say. But true he needs to provide something other than “not Obama”.

[Antoninus]

Gee, Romney Inc. ran a scorched-earth neutron-bomb style campaign against his conservative opponents in the Republican primaries, and now he's gone all Marquis of Queensbury in the general election. What does that tell you?

(If you've got half a brain, it tells you that the man has no interest in promoting conservative ideals. He's a moderate squish who views Obama as a colleague and conservatives as the real enemy--just like the rest of the GOP-e.)

It appears Romney’s achilles heel is his McCain style campaign approach.

Wow, the lamestream media is releasing all of these same stories AT THE EXACT SAME TIME. What a coincidence!

[gleeaikin]

Do we still believe the old bipartisan tradition that politics stops at the US shore in an overseas crisis?

"I will eliminate waste, fraud and abuse."

That's the ticket. It's so novel, new and never heard before...

What I and many others want to hear is not how Romney is going nibble around the edges. Tell us how you're going to shrink fedzilla by 50% or more. Take it back to the Clinton size that lefties always moan and squeal about.

This is is the third article I have read this morning (German time) from a third left-wing source describing the alleged "disarray" in the Romney campaign, the other two coming to the New York Times and Politico.

Not one of these articles is specific and all of them assume that there is a problem without proving it. Much of the assumption is based on a superficial analysis of the polls which, when adjusted for elimination of polls of registered rather than likely voters and when adjusted by elimination of those polls which exaggerate Democrat voters, Romney is running even or just below even.

The problem for Romney is that the breakdown of the 2008 electoral college map when transposed onto this cycle means that Romney must essentially run the table and win the preponderance of the swing states. In point of fact, he had been making progress to close his deficiencies in these key states but that seems to have stalled-according to the only pollster worth listening to at this point, Rasmussen.

This article suggests that Romney's malaise, if you will, comes from a lack of particularity in his position papers but I think it comes from a lack of punch in his bumper stickers. Consider Newt Gingrich, he encapsulates the point in a phrase, "the food stamp president vs. the paycheck president."

That is what sways voters, not position papers. Romney should hire a staff of comedy writers and jingle writers from Madison Avenue to encapsulate his positions and to satirize Obama-all to be overseen by Newt Gingrich.

IMHO...he runs better with his mouth shut.

Whatever Romney says or does not say Obama and the Lamestream Media (e.g., DNC communication central)will tear it apart. Why should he give them any more? I recall the last campaign - Obama - Hope and Change, I am going to fundamentally transform America - - what the heck was specific about that??? Obummer spoke in a way in which each of his supporters heard what they wanted to hear.

Romney has mentioned his 5 point plan for getting the economy on track on stump speeches and at the Convention. I don't recall all of them but they include: Making the USA energy independent (opening pipeline, coal, gas, etc.), removing regulations, helping small businesses, etc.

He's also a supporter of Israel and has said many times that Jerusalem is the capitol of Israel.

I suspect Romney will come out with more, but in his own time (perhaps some zingers during the debates).

In the meantime, the economy continues to tank, yet another QE, US embassies are burning around the World, and Obama is doing just fine.
