This guy is so fundamentally wrong, it is humorous. the Rosen/Ann Romney thing is a huge win for Romney. It allowed Ann Romney a chance to take the stage and she is very impressive. It also nullified any effect the ‘War on Women’ would have. This is a central tenet to the Obama reelection, and the rug was ripped out from under then when Rosen over-reached. This election is won by Romney if he wins the suburban female vote, and this event helped in that effort...in a big way.

The dog issue is a side issue, but the left sure has been hammering Romney on the ‘dog on the car roof’ thing. It is a meaningless event, but they seemed to think it important enough to repeat it, fundraise off it, and even create a special website about it. The Romney campaign effectively squelched this attack with the eating dog thing. Once again, great politics.

The OBL thing is Obama’s one event to brag about, and he and the media have spent an entire week on it. The right has done a nice job using this to help their narrative that Obama is a self-absorbed narcissist, celebrity. As another poster puts it, what is the right to do? Ignore and let the media and White House make this entire election about Obama the war hero? That narrative is a joke, and needed a response.

Meanwhile, the economy is getting worse and people will continue to be hit with joblessness, low wages, high cost of living, and high gas prices for the next 5 months. Plenty of time to make hay on those issues.

I have not seen any indication for the past year that Romney has the ability to make that argument (what should be an easy one) effectively. (Perhaps his band of surrogates can do that for him, but that remains to be seen.)

...and in addition to your well put comments, Obama is clearly politicizing the house that generates the reports on the jobless numbers. To come out this morning and suggest that it WILL be below 8% by election means clearly that the fix is in. Of course, as one already stated here....the left owns and has sympathesists on the narrative of what number is used. Real unemployment is all that matters because it is the REAL number of people affected and needful...that number is over 16% which is depression level. Obama owns this number but will carve out less than 8% by election...mark my words, this Marxists will do this.
