So Why Should We Vote For Romney Again?

     It's becoming as hazy as Mitt's opinion on ObamaCare

     Just how hazy was underscored by the comments of Bill Kristol over the weekend:

     The Weekly Standard’s Bill Kristol advised the Mitt Romney to avoid making the election about the last four years, noting that the Obama administration inherited the crisis from Bush and has handled it well. “If this election is just about the last four years, that’s a muddy verdict. Bush was president during the financial meltdown. The Obama team has turned that around pretty well. Bill Clinton’s speech at the convention was very important in that way,” he said. Romney “has go to make it a choice about the next four years and explain what Obama would do that would be bad for the country and what he would do to be good.”

    Ok. Wow. So Obama and his team did do a pretty good job cleaning up Bush's mess. Kristol admits this. It totally cuts Romney's original strategy off at the knees that this was about the "Obama recession."

    "Team Romney has two messages on Barack Obama and his administration. The first, geared towards conservatives and Republican-leaning voters, is that Obama is a weak and feckless leader who has crippled the economy with socialism and ruined our standing with appeasement. This is the Obama who “apologizes” for America, and who seeks to remake the United States in the image of Europe — complete with government takeovers and state-fostered “dependency.”

    "The other message, geared towards everyone else, is that Obama disappoints because he is “in over his head.” “The president is a nice guy,” Romney says, “but he doesn’t have a clue about how to get this country going again.” Of the two, this is the stronger message; it speaks to the nation’s disappointment without disparaging the president or leaning on a verdict — Obama’s failure is rooted in sinister ideology — which isn’t shared by most voters."

     So, Bill, where do you suggest Romney goes from here? Kristol seems to think the answer is an ideological contest over government and Ryan's privatization scheme for Medicare. However, there may be a reason Romney's not doing this.

     I think Kristol is right of course. But then I'm voting for Obama. If Obama isn't to blame for the slow recovery why exactly should we vote for Romney? Ryan's Medicare Scheme is highly unpopular. Just take a look at his reception at AARP on Friday.

    What it comes down to is Kristol wants that other message-but this fight over ideology isn't shared by most voters.

    All I know, is that Romney is now flipflopping on why to even vote for him. And if Irving Kristol can't give you a straight answer, how are those few remaining undecideds going to come up with one?
