You know your candidate is bad when you're counting on economic conditions to deteriorate for him to win.
Just like Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton.
Unemployment was on its way down in 1992; in 1980, UE and Inflation were on the way down as well. Clinton and Reagan won because they were slick politicians that were able to tap into the national mood (which lagged behind economic indicators). Romney is not a slick campaigner and he has shown himself to be ineffective at being the candidate that "understands the plight of the voters" like Obama has.
The consensus among some Republicans on this forum seems to be counting on (dare I say hoping?) a sharp economic downturn to come out of left-field (Europe most likely) and quickly sink the tepid recovery. The days until the election continue to count down, and the opportunity for an economic catastrophe to occur and sink the economy by November is quickly fleeting.
