re: #19 HappyWarrior

It does seem to be working. I think a lot of people underestimate how savvy Obama is as a campaigner. I think he’s lost only once as a candidate and that was as a primary challenger for Congress.

Romney and the GOP didn’t think they would have to really fight because of the economy. They didn’t expect the President to go as hard as he’s gone and they certainly never expected to be put on the defense. They thought a cowardly MSM and SuperPAC ads saying how awful Obama has been would be enough. It may have been if the President Obama had any intention of laying down. But Obama doesn’t really do laying down and taking it. Throw in that he is actually one cold-blooded and calculating MFer himself (see dead pirates, dead terrorists and dead dictators) and Romney just wasn’t prepared for any of this.
