Is Romney Unraveling?

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/03/opinion/blow-is-romney-unraveling.html?src=recg

How is Romney losing it? Let us count the ways:

1) The economy continues to improve.

Romney needed gloom and doom on the economy, but Obama got some rays of sunlight.

2) Romney’s momentum is maxing out.

That’s right, it is the Obama campaign that has the rightful claim to having momentum.

3) Hurricane Sandy.

For his part, Romney transformed an Ohio rally into a “storm relief event.”

4) Truth and lies. Evidence continues to emerge that Romney is one of the most dishonest, duplicitous candidates to ever seek the presidency.

and independents should not continue to lower their own standards just to spite Obama or democrats. They only hurt themselves siding with the mess that is Romney.

It's good when we start getting stuff like this in the media - "is wrongney UNRAVELING?"

DESTABILIZE THE ENEMY. Start spreading that meme. You're as likely to bum them out as you are to fire them up, especially when so much around them is trending for the other guy. I like spreading the mental picture that the enemy is coming unglued!

doubling down on blatant lies. He used to try and be slick about his lies, now he just spits them out there. And his wife and son will be the first ones to tell you that he's unstable - I don't have the link but they both used that adjective to describe him. I believe one time it was on the View.
