At least Newt could mount an attack on Obama from a cultural angle (as sad and disturbing as that would be). The economy is all Romney has going for him. Really.
He only got 53% of the vote when there was:
- "Hope and change"
- A financial crisis to blame on Bush/Republicans
- An old, erratic, unattractive John McCain as his opponent
- Sarah Palin to mock
How in the world is he going to manage anything close to 53% in THIS environment, but especially if another financial crisis hits due to the troubles in Europe? You do realize what Carl's numbers are showing, right? Things are still worse off than they were three years ago when Obama took office. Not just that, but we have an enormous amount of discouraged workers who are not even reflected in the unemployment rate.
Ah, the sweet smell of desperation.
Things are better now then they were four years ago, only a partisan hack would think other wise. The country was losing 2.6 million jobs under the previous administration. Under Obama, we have had 22 months of straight growth.
The country's outlook on 2012 has also changed for the better looking at polls. Even your pal, Mitt has dropped this silly talking point.
