i posted this in the AP/Rueters thread....
i heard Ras on Kudlow this morning....basically his message was this is Romney’s election to lose yet Romney has not done enough to win the election....
Ras said no one (electorate) believes obama has any idea or ability how to improve the economy yet at the same time Romney has blown it to date by not giving enough detail on his plan to improve the economy or reduce the deficit (i agree with the latter)...
Ras also said the rats have seen a massive short term bounce in voter enthusiasm....he credits clinton’s speech for it and said that while the rats think obama and clinton compare favorably when it comes to the economy and economic growth, Republicans disagree and more importantly, unaffiliated voters think its a joke...
bottom line- Romney needs to show more detail and according to Ras, his campaign executives told him they plan on doing exactly that this month....
Romney won’t......He like his aides that tell him likewise believe that they just need to run a prevent defense (run the clock out) and they will win. Maybe they are correct in the end but I find this strategy “too risky” and gives Obama a chance, howbeit a small chance to squeak out a win. I believe the Romney and his advisors don’t understand how different the country had change over the past 30 years since Reagan vs Carter and that any trends from the past handbooks should be thrown out considering how numb many of our citizens have become and again....how our country is changing internally for the worse
