Namely one distraction and diversion after another. An endless series of dumbed-down mini-controversies tailor-made for MSM trolls.
• A demand by a 30-year-old law student for legislation that would require others to pay for her birth control somehow morphs into a 'war on women.'
•The brouhaha over Romneys tax returns.
•The sudden immaculate conversion on gay marriage from Pres. Obama.
•The controversy over Paul Ryan's marathon time.
•Other mini-controversies too numerous to list, such as Romney's comments about the Olympics, Ann Romney's horse, Romney's comments about the terrorist attack in Libya, etc.
It's a smart campaign, no doubt, when you've got 8.3 percent uemployment, fewer jobs than in 2009, black unemployment thru the roof, median household income down by 5%, $16 trillion in debt, gas prices more than doubled, and one in six Americans or thereabouts on food stamps. And the area surrounding Washington DC now the richest region (by household income) in the nation, surpassing Silicon Valley.
Credit where credit is due...well done, Team Obama; gotta hand it to you.
hmm, I dont think that Obama has run such a stellar campaign, but Romney is such a horrible candidate. He is a walking contradiction. I watched clips of him and Obama on Univision today, and he was towing the moderate line. He doesnt mind being the 'grandfather of obamacare', and 'he wont throw anyone out'.,,etc... I watched in awe..
Now dont get me wrong, I think he should have been moderate all along, but he never wouldve gotten the nomination if he had been, but now no one knows who the real mitt romney is.
Huntsman said it best, "he is a well oiled weather vane"
I don't think the conservative pundits are doing him any favors either. The Noonans and Kristols are throwing him under the bus.
Romney is also being to concise. He is the challenger. He can't just say go to my website, people want to hear details from him.
It does not take to many mistakes to ruin a campaign. Look at Rudy Giuliani, many people thought he was a shoe in 2008. Romney is making mistakes at breakneck speed. He better throw a no hitter from here on.

This is it.
0boy's handlers are smart (cunning and evil) and Romney's are dumber than a box of rocks.
There was a time in America where people thought for themselves and were able to figure out this stuff. These days, not so much. 0boy's minions are the dumbest of all to not be able to sort stuff out without the help of the likes of Matthews, MadCow, Lawrence, et al. They watch MSNBC and consider themselves smarter. That's a very sad state of the union.
Oboy's people have kept Mitt running and twirling to try to get away from stupidity, but he doesn't seem to be able to shake off the crap, one turd immediately after the last.
Well, these "distractions" are effective because they are keeping Romney off balance. The video leak clearly caught him off guard..... he and his campaign didn't know how to effectively respond. If this were boxing, Romney is getting hit by jabs and punches from directions he didn't expect. To shift metaphors, Romney is experiencing death by a thousand cuts.
Thanks for reminding me about the 'firing people' hubub, FrugalYankee, that's one I had forgotten. If you listen to Romney's comment in context, it is a good point. If a store, contractor, cell-phone provider, etc, screws you over, don't you want to be able to fire them? Or do you just want to sit there and take a repeated spanking? That's all Mitt was saying, but you knew that.
Competency does indeed appear smart -- particularly when your guy is running an uttely incompetent campaign.
