>>>A lone figure stands ever-ready. His senses in perfect tune with his surroundings. His eyes are focused, sharp as a hawk. His skin registers the speed and direction of the wind. He can assess the humidity through the simple act of inhaling. He listens intently for the spring of the release. He can smell his victory in the air.

>He is at best 50-50. His campaign in particular and his party in general are doing everything they can to screw up his advantages. War on women, Julia, fizzle. Non Cherokee Warren, splat. Piss off Catholics, check and double check. Pro gay-marriage, collect $1mil, but not, flop. Not that any of it really matters considering no matter how they spin, manipulate the stats or pontificate, no one thinks the economy is getting any better and that's what costs incumbents their jobs. He's been losing ground to Romney since his nomination was secured and is losing outright in one poll. It's only May. To be losing this early is a catastrophe, just like his presidency.

I'm sure Mitts USA would be a charming caring place.

"What he could have learned from that experience is that, just as creative destruction is important for moving an economy forward, a safety net is important for catching those who are left behind. As head of Bain, Romney fired a lot of workers who were perfectly good at their jobs, who were committed to their companies, who had families they needed to support. That was his job as head of a private-equity giant. But his job as president of the United States would also be to look out for those workers."
