What more does a candidate need to do to lose a Presidential election?

[Absentee Voting Ghost of Ruin]

I feel your frustration. Without regard for ideology, this election should be the Republicans', hands down. Obama has not been a successful President by most measues AND the economy is doing rather poorly. But Romney's stumbling, staggering campaign is by turns infuriating and pathetic. I look at it, think of his once-trumpeted 'executive experience' and can't help but wonder if his entire adult life is not simply a product of wealth, connections, and some slick talk. God knows, Romney certainly appears to think that he's going to become President simply because he's entitled to.
