Since Romney is a notorious killer of varmints, perhaps his motor coach should be named the blunderbuss. When compared to the Obama homage, the Romney convention was stuck in neutral. Never has an uncontested convention shown so little interest in their nominee. The convention will be best remembered for an empty chair and a prospective commander-in-chief, failing to mention an on going war or to thank the troops.
Lest anyone question his unfitness for duty, Romney doubled down on an untruthful and disgraceful partisan attack during the embassy crisis. His vagueness on his tax plan, and his campaign's failure to respond to attacks on him and Bain during the summer, have undercut his advantage on the economy. Recent polls reflect the Romney regression.
Obama's emphasis on the ground game may soon finish the race. Early in person voting starts on September 27 in Iowa, and on October 2 in Ohio. Absentee voting starts in 6 days in Virginia, and in early October in Florida and New Hampshire. If Obama can sustain, or increase, his current advantage through the first debate on October 7, the blunderbuss will breakdown.
No help will come for the stranded campaign. I predict that off of strong fundraising during the democratic convention, Obama will raise thirty million dollars more than Romney in September. Karl Rove is one rat that knows when to abandon a sinking bus. His super pacs will divert funds to house and senate races.
A bad debate will seal Mitt's fate.
