Yeah, as I have said before, Romney will probably win if things don't improve with the economy. He is already keeping a sanity about him, while still attacking Obama, and doing it better than anybody out there. And yes, Obama's lack of leadership could just cost him the White House.
That said, this whole let's cut taxes and jobs will magically come back isn't going to work. Of course let's get rid of loopholes and lower rates accordingly, but really revenues need to be raised. At least things will be on a more even playing field. And we need to somehow take care of the healthcare mess. That is another reason we are hemorrhaging jobs. No one wants to pay for something for which costs go up more than inflation each year. Whether government taking it all on it's shoulder will solve all the problems, I don't know, but one way to create jobs is to get it off businesses, and especially small businesses shoulders. And of course Obamacare does not do this, not even close.
Finally, I do think there is some merit in the notion that government can work together with businesses to create the conditions needed to create jobs. Without creating another Solyndra of course. I give up.
