In response to:
Romney/Ryan have a great clinching argument--which they are NOT using. This is from the online edition of FORBES magazine:
"Ex-federal government GDP growth in the four years after FDR accepted his party’s nomination in the summer of 1932 was about 30%.
Here’s Obama’s mark: negative 0.3% cumulative."
THAT is a crusher. It smashes Obama's contention that he needs more time and it blows up Clinton's statement from the Dem. Convention that "No President...not even me...could have fixed this in 4 years." The Great Depression was MUCH worse than the recession of 2008 and FDR delivered far better results in his first term.
Of course, FDR was an actual LEADER, something the Dem. party doesn't seem to have anymore.
Obama the postpartisan healer is a distant, almost quaint, memory at this point. The Southside pol has been sprinting down the bare-knuckles, "punish your enemies," voting as vengeance road for some time now, so this shouldn't surprise anyone. What an inspiring and forward-looking message with which to round out your campaign, Mr. President. Project Hopenchange is dead:
Compare our angry, hyper-partisan...

WHY isn't the Romney campaign using this crusher of an argument? Are they incompetent? Or do they think it's too complicated for people to grasp?
