Romney is staggering, soon to hit the canvas -- start the ten-count

Romney has lived a life of privilege and is accustomed to being in control. He has always found ways to appear to take the high road while sending his henchmen out to do the dirty work. In that way when accusations were made, he could always point in another direction.

Think about the primary contest. One almost never saw a public sleazy maneuver by Romney, a foul intended to disable an opponent. He usually smiled into the camera when those running against him publicly angrily called him out for some disingenuous ad or underhanded attack he had launched against them. Romney always declined to accept the responsibility and would point the finger at this PAC or that PAC and say Federal law prevented him from communicating with them, so obviously he could not have “ordered the hit.” We most frequently saw this play against the candidate who had advanced to be the front-running challenger du jour. One by one, Romney eliminated them, using his surrogates to knock each out of contention.

He expected to achieve the same results in the contest against Barrack Obama. What he did not factor into the equation was that he was competing against The Greatest. Ducking and dodging past one issue into another, Romney has met repeated failure to throw a knock out punch in this contest.

The bully from Bain is leading with his glass jaw against a Political Champ. He has repeatedly been put on the ropes and now is simply swinging blindly into the air.

From the sidelines, Muhammad Ali is smiling, wondering when this chump will be eliminated by a lightning fast jab, one he never sees coming.

Mitt Romney -- always a contender but never truly a Champ.

I had a conversation with a Republican last night. She's a neighbor, so I was careful with my words; she's also 80 and has a heart problem. She said she couldn't understand why the election was so close. I said Romney really has an image problem, but Romney's worst problem is Romney himself.

I couldn't help but wonder if she watched the news this morning.
