He cannot even remember what he was for a month ago, and keeps contradicting himself. Today, he can't remember what the NDAA was or what his position was on it. He simply didn't know what the person was talking about, so he waffled and said he didn't know.
People remember stuff, and there's video of what he has said about stuff.
He's ruining his own campaign, because he is simply incompetent to hold the job he's running for.

Right now, they're trying to keep things stirred up so they can keep their phony-baloney jobs. Closer to the election, they'll come around a little better, and Obama's not going to let this crap slide in the upcoming debates.
Mitt will just keep screwing up, too. He can't help it. He simply doesn't know what he's talking about, and if it's not on the list of talking points, he's clueless. That's clear.

(42,770 posts)Obama has WAY under-reported his achievements and the bright side of the economy. I truly think this is what this slice of electorate is worried about. He needs to lay it on thick. Stock Market!!! Housing Starts. Job Growth. EVERYTHING GOOD. And repeat it over and over every time Romney says "TWENTY THREE MILLION OUT OF WORK."
I would also mention all the big, well known companies that have announced hiring. I thought he should have done this at the start of the campaign. Every single week, visit a company who is hiring or bringing jobs back from overseas. Brag about them. Other companies may want the free publicity. He did it a couple times, amazingly enough....Bridgestone..Masterlock. And then stopped.
That is one weird thing about his administration. Just like when he said, after the stimulus, that he would report back to the country periodically - money spent/jobs created. That didn't last long. Healthcare too. Get on the news, explain to people it is not the end of the world...it is a good thing. Never did that.

(16,064 posts)This election will be decided by the stupid. Substance means nothing. Lies mean nothing. Incompetence means nothing. What Romney did in the debate will be rembered by the idiots who have not yet decided. What Romney did is wipe the floor with Obama. If Obama doesn't recover in a big way he is going to lose.

(146,320 posts)And I believe you're incorrect. Obama will win easily. There's still a month. I hope you'll be voting for him and helping to get out the vote, wherever you live.

Romney cares about money and how to make and keep it, get him on that subject and he's quite fluent and his memory is fine, off that subject and he simply doesn't care enough to bother to make sense.
