His room for error is gone.
I really don't see Romney pulling this off. He would have to be perfect......and he can't do it.

(13,616 posts)5. No need to despair
as we are winning, the point is we need to play with intensity until we read the headline that says "we won" in the newpaper the day after.

(37,648 posts)8. Well, the points in that art. are no longer true. O is up mucho over R&R in WI and other
places. Nothing that matters is neck and neck, anymore. Doesn't mean O will win. Anything can happen. But it is an indication that R&R will lose, unless something major changes.

I said it earlier this week and Ill say it again the election isnt over yet. Romney has really made things difficult for himself over the past few weeks, particularly this week with these 47% comments that have now hijacked his campaign. And there is a snowballing feeling of impending doom surrounding the Romney campaign as the gaffes, letdowns, and internal turmoil and infighting of the campaign all seem to be piling up. It seems like the wheels are coming off the Romney campaign right now. BUT, here are six reasons why the Obama campaign should remain a bit nervous, and why the Romney campaign should still have hope.
Way to trivialize an ongoing shit storm.
His room for error is gone. He has to win the first debate convincingly, stay on message, avoid any more gaffes or controversial statements, and pounce if Obama makes a mistake. Romney can still win, but he is going to have to basically pitch a shutout from here on out and have Obama hurt himself a bit by swinging at bad pitches.
Yeah, like he did with Libya. The whole point is wishful thinking.
The other points are possible because up to now Mitt has been given a pass by the media.

headlines like this (and there are quite a few today) are the most upbeat it gets for him.
that said, I agree with your message.
