"SNIP............................................

Despite promising that he was indeed finally laying out major economic news of a Romney plan, Mitt Romney stumbled his way through a stump speech attack on Obama that included no economic news, no specifics, but tons of negativity aimed at the President.

Speaking at a campaign rally in Ames, Iowa, Romney failed to impress. Here’s a roundup of reaction:

Ali Velshi: “They said this was major economic news. There wasn’t a piece of economic news in it.”

Gloria Borger: “This wasn’t so much about, you know, specific policy prescriptions. Nothing new right now.”

...predicted what he was going to say. It's the same song and dance he's given all election season - "Obama this, Obama that...." Even his supporters want to know what his economic plan is.

He has to see which way the wind is blowing at any one time, who has the most cash on hand to bankroll his next wackadoo project.

He refuses to be held to anything. His word is mush.
