Despite the attacks, Obama has a ton of disadvantages in this race that aren't going to go away just because he attacks Romney. Unless the economy really turns around in the next few months, it's going to be hard for Obama to win.
The funny thing is, there's analysis of presidential approval versus economic indicators and Obama should be doing a lot worse in the polls than he is. The GOP can't rely on that, because Obama has largely bucked the trend.
Exactly.
You would think more people would realize this after 2004, Mitt can't run on the "Not-Obama" platform and expect to win IMO, you have to give a reason for people to vote for you and he hasn't yet which is why Obama is still leading by 4-5 points with unemployment hovering around 8.2%.
