Romney runs like a dry creek from the 1960's

Romney is the one who ran on his business record; now he wants a truce with Obama so he won’t have to talk about it. Unprepared for the Bain attacks 18 years after they battered his bid for the Senate against Ted Kennedy, he’s reduced to watching his spokesman resort to juvenile jabs at the president’s campaign as “lower” than “a champion limbo dancer.” It’s the kind of thing you say when your candidate is running like a dry creek.

That, however, is not the heart of Romney’s problem or his greatest gift to Obama. The Ryan-Romney ticket is confirming and accelerating the move away from the 2012 election as a straight-line referendum on the state of the economy. At this point, it is unmistakably and irretrievably a choice—and in terms of the unradical American majority, the financial manipulator from Bain and the New Deal destroyer from Janesville are on the wrong side.

Would that mine opponent would write a plan. Ryan did. Romney owns it. The Obama strategists will use it. The first Web video is already out. They’re in the edit room right now working on the television advertising. Come November, I believe the Republicans left out of the White House will be left with a simple thought: where was Tim Pawlenty when we needed him?
