  Ones that the Reps. can easily counter by illustrating Obama's hypocrisy and then redirecting the focus on the economy.  

 


People that would buy that line of attack are already firmly in Romney's camp.  That's not a new line of approach, but rather one that's been coming for Rush and O'Reilly and Hannity since 2009.  It won't help him.

Do you really think that if people haven't bought into the Socialist liar apologizer Arab Kenyan non-citizen "gonna take all your guns" propaganda after three years of constant recitation, it ain't happening now.

THe reason the Bain atacks hurt Romeny is that it's the foundation of his entire campaign and it undermines his credibility and establishment of character as an alternative.  People know where they stand on Obama.  The masses who don't watch political TV in non-election years don't really know Romney beyond face value, and this is a poor introduction to a national race.  Remember, if you follow politics, you've seen ROmeny forever, but the vast masses don't pay but passing attention to primaries.  

And I'm sure the people on the left thought all those other attacks against Romney would have worked, as well.  The fact is, people on the right think it will have no affect, while people on the left think it will be the end of Romney.  The truth is it will affect things, but it won't have a large affect.  A lot can happen in ~4 months.  But, I can bet one thing that won't happen is the economy won't make a miraculous recovery.  And with gas prices starting to go up again, that's going to be on people's minds, as well. 

And you're right.  Not a lot of people are paying attention, yet.  Which is why its foolish for Obama to be attacking so hard so soon.  This will be defeated within a week or 2 and definitely be forgotten by Oct./Nov., when the campaign is at its hottest and people are paying attention.  Which again, is when Romney is going to be using all that money for ads.
