What does Romney have left to run on? His tenure as governor of Massachusetts? That is something he would rather not mention, as he was pro-choice and pro-mandate back then.

Even the Olympics are now off the table, they are too closely related to his “leave of absence/pre-retirement” from Bain.

The only thing he can do now is to try to paint Obama as some kind of bully and thug abusing the powers of the Presidency to wreck Romney’s reputation.
