◼ The Obama campaign keeps trying to change the subject in this election from jobs and the economy to almost anything else — contraception, Swiss bank accounts, Seamus the Roof-Ridin’ Dog, whatever works. Republicans have countered these arguments, but when they do so, they run the risk of making the distractions work for Obama.
Yesterday, Mitt Romney wrote a lengthy column in the Cleveland Plain Dealer that put the focus of the election squarely on the issues that matter most to American voters:
Dear Mr. President,...Blunt is the only thing that the Obama campaign understands … and fears. This is the theme that Romney needs to hammer over the next six months. Don’t get too distracted by War on Wimmenses and dog-crate nonsense. Obama and his team know they can’t compete on jobs and the economy and will do anything to change the subject. This op-ed is a good start in focusing voter attention back on jobs, the economy, and Obama’s disastrous performance on both.
Welcome to Ohio. I have a simple question for you: Where are the jobs?
