The big political story today is whether Willard Mitt Romney can right his sinking ship, I Deserve The Presidency 2012.
Goodness gracious. Even while he tries to regain control, we cats think Romney is taking quite a few things for granted.
Willard thinks he can hit the "reset" button? He thinks that 300 million Americans will forget that he's been running for President for zillions of years, and that he hasn't said a damn thing that whole time? He thinks that the American people are simply sitting and holding their breath, waiting for him to opine on the issues they care about? And that, once he does, all will be well?
We have news for Willard: It might not work that way.
If he squandered opportunities over the summer, if he failed to capitalize on his VP pick, and if he put on a lousy convention — all of which Willard did — he may not be able to regain ground. So now, they're flailing — saying that Romney will surely come out with specific policy positions, to convince voters they should fire President Obama and hire him.
Funny how quickly the Romneybots laughed off Peggy Noonan and her ilk last week, for suggesting that Willard should get all serious and detail-y about what he would actually do as President. Now, they pledge that they'll do what she says.
These are not the hallmarks of a winning campaign. Right?
