The headline says it all, “Alarm Grows Among Dems About Obama\u2019s Chances<\/a>“:<\/p>\n

“It has taken months of bad news, but Democrats increasingly believe that President Obama<\/a> might just lose his re-election bid. \u00a0The latest wake-up call comes in the form of a New York Times\/CBS poll<\/a> showing Republican Mitt Romney<\/a> in the lead not just among registered voters overall, but with women and independents …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s good, but I’m still not seeing the love for Romney. \u00a0I think his increasing numbers have more to do with disgust with Obama as opposed to support for Romney, especially with gun owners. \u00a0Romney needs to close the deal. \u00a0He could do that either by picking a solid gun guy as his running mate and\/or supporting the reciprocity bill<\/a> in Congress. \u00a0Just a a short and sweet statement like “As President I would sign H.R \u00a0822 into law.” \u00a0Anything more than that would come across as sucking up and not be believable considering his less than perfect record on the issue.<\/p>\n
