Читать книгу Romney's Lament: He Blinded Me With Science - Larry Inc. Stein - Страница 6

In his two electoral successes, beating Shannon O'Brien for governor and winning the Republican nomination, Romney has had the same ring strategy. He uses superior resources to out punch his opponent, with most of the blows at, or below, the belt. He out spent O'Brien by 50%. His advantage in the Republican primaries was far greater.

Obama is a prodigious fundraiser. His campaign will probably raise more money than Mitt's. Including super PACs, and other third parties, Romney will have the cash advantage. But campaign finance rules will negate part of this advantage (see my earlier post "Obama's October (and September) Surprise"). Obama also has the advantage of incumbency. No campaign resources are used when he flies into the swing state of Colorado, to survey the fire damage and, to offer federal assistance.

Can Romney win a fair fight? Looking at his protruding chin, I suspect he has a glass jaw.
