All a Republican has to do to win is to appear sane, maybe even reasonable, and to campaign with the deadly message that Romney had in Monday�s debate:

�

... We have more chronic long-term (unemployment) than this country has ever seen before. ... We�ve got housing prices continuing to decline, and we have foreclosures at record levels. This president has failed. And he�s failed at a time when the American people counted on him to create jobs and get the economy growing.�

These are dangerous words for Obama because there is some truth in them. .... he was elected by the recession. And if the recession continues at the present pace, he could be defeated by it.

That is why Romney�s most telling words were �the president has failed.� This line resonates with unemployed and frightened 2008 Obama voters.
