In keeping with this one must realize that Obama’s chances are only mediocre and getting worse due to the economy. Romney’s strategy is to say little, blame the economy of Obama, and watch natural trends while his Republican allies while having power now block every action by the government. This is just what was done to Herbert Hoover according to William Appleman Williams, no conservative. Its quite possible the Great Depression will be recreated next time by the Democrats so has to have some power to maneuver. Evidently this country needs fear of social revolution and 25% unemployment before this rather inflexible system designed for the benefit of large property owners, slaveholders at the start, capitalists now can act in the public interest.
