Democrats Have No Fear Of Romney
Obama's campaign and its allies laugh, sneer at the likely Republican nominee. He's just the tallest dwarf. Confident, or cocky?

CHICAGO, Ill. They are afraid of everything from a spike in gas prices to the possibility of war with Iran; from unemployment to the Supreme Courts striking down the health care law. But one thing Barack Obamas expensive war machine isnt afraid of right now is Mitt Romney.
Sure, they respect the Boston headquarters of a professional Republican campaign and they worry about the Death Star, the pro-Romney Super PAC Restore Our Future. But after six months of watching Romney drift deeper into traps they spent last year setting for him, Obamas aides and allies view him with the slavering, gloating anticipation of a tiger stalking a wildebeest.
I think their assessment is that Romney is much less a threat to them as events are a threat to them, and I agree with that, former Clinton aide James Carville told BuzzFeed. Romney cannot beat Obama, only events can beat Obama.
This point of view has real consequences for how the Obama campaign conducts itself between now and the general election. In particular, it means that most of their time and energy is spent positioning the president around pressing economic issues: The fear over gas prices is palpable in Obama campaign headquarters, where staffers say top advisors frequently huddle to discuss strategy on the issue. They spend far less time worrying about the contrast thats supposed to be at the core of Romneys message, his abilities as a manager and his private sector background, in contrast to a president with negligible private sector experience who Romney says is out of his depth.
