Why Romney Is Losing

Interesting POV - his campaign is weak.

I think it would be good for both parties and America to get down to concrete proposals and idea versus the inoffensive talking points.

Fresh Air had a good podcast the other day on the budget and the looming fiscal cliff.  During it, he makes a good point about how Republicans don't go into detail about what programs they intend to cut, but that they simply intend to cut the government beast.  And Democrats tend to not want to talk about who they are actually going to raise taxes on (upper middle class folks) to pay for everything.

Toward the end of the podcast, the guy makes the most relevant point - Americans want more in benefits than they want to pay in taxes.  This is the simple reality.  The majority of the budget are entitlement programs - Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security - and Americans do not want these programs cut even though they are the ones threatening to bankrupt our society.
