Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI've figured out how Obama can put this election away.
It's a relatively simple argument, one that came to me watching a two-minute clip of Frank Luntz talking to one of his focus groups...
But I don't want to say what it is, at least not until *after* Mitt Romney gives his speech on Thursday night. (I don't want any spies running back to Mitt's writers with any new ideas.) I'll bump this thread with my idea, right after Mitt delivers his dud of an acceptance speech.

OP
It's going to be easier for Obama than I thought... because Mitt *wants* to talk about Bain!

"Peasants under glass" is the phrase he uses.

The path to re-election is obvious now.
Mitt wants to talk about Bain, so let's talk about Bain!
Outsourcing, downsizing, reducing benefits.... that's Mitt's solution for everything. Amazingly, he doesn't see anything wrong with it.
Here's the Golden Key: Get Mitt to defend the phrase "creative destruction," and it's all over.
