If he wants to win, make the case and we will put him over the top.

Absolutely! Own and Mitt, and we will stand with you.

Just add it to the list of other chances he has that he doesn’t take advantage of. Go read tonight’s Krauthammer column on the collapse of Obama’s foreign policy. All Romney has to do is use that as an outline for a major speech on foreign policy and then use it on the stump. I don’t know what he’s waiting for. The next six weeks will be all about wondering when Romney’s going to get serious, I’m afraid.

Romney as already done this..in fact he took heat from the media for even mentioning that memo.

Instead, Romney’s 47 percent comment implies that anyone who receives a federal benefit is a deadbeat. We’re talking about half the population! The social safety net is worth preserving; but it shouldn’t be sacrosanct. One test of presidential competence is the capacity to convince people that what’s good for the country is ultimately good for them, even if it involves short-term sacrifice. On the campaign trail, Romney is failing that test.

Romney and Ryan have talked more about entitlement reform and the danger of the growing debt and deficit than anyone I can think of..I do not ever remember anyone even broaching the subject. Ryan was talking about reform before this tape was released and Romney was talking shrinking government and cutting back on the federal work force before that happened as well. Maybe Romney is not as eloquent as Samuelson would like, but he is not dodging the issue altogether. That is more than can be said for the other guy.

He will not, but if he does. I can find some money and time and my ballot.
