VOTE'12 - The One-Man Race

US VOTE'12:

ROMNEY'S HASTE FOR DEFEAT

I've said it previously: the only suspense left in the November election is over the Republicans' possible ability to secure a majority in Congress. The presidential race is marked by a conspicuous subduedness, with little input from the sitting president, and only occasional yet daft sound bites from the opponent. Obama's ostensible muteness makes him appear to be more mainstream and middle-of-the-road than he actually is, while Romney invokes vivid images of a long-dead, equally nasty and unsuccessful candidate of yesterday: Barry Goldwater.

Roaming Mitt's latest public diatribe is equally dumb and antagonizing. "47% of voters will elect Obama, being on benefits and not benefiting of the proposed (yet unaffordable) tax cut." To stigmatize so many voters for all the wrong reasons as their true number is closer to 20%, and to do so in front of an elitist assembly of wealthy donors to the Republican Party, has buried Romney's chances for good. Not only that - and this should alarm Republicans - but such social warring will also spill into Congressional races. After November 6th, the GOP elders will be so enraged with Romney that his chances to win the eventual Party's nomination in 2016 have been also squashed.
