I give the first week,
post Announcement, to the
Romney/Ryan team. It is clear that Mitt
and Paul and the boys have spent some time thinking this through and they have
caught Obama completely unprepared for the effectiveness of their counter
argument.
And now, come
Saturday, we learn that Paul Ryan will
go to The Villages, the world’s largest
retirement community. He is taking his
mother and will spend a good part of the day reiterating the truth about his
program.
Understand that Romney/Ryan have taken the offense away from
Obama/Biden and have no intentions of letting that advantage go by the
boards. More than this, I am quite certain that the Obama camp is no
longer slapping each other on the back about the Ryan nomination.
I expect Friday to be a rather slow day, but, the reporting on Ryan’s time in Florida
come Saturday, will be of special
interest to all. By Tuesday, we will have polling results telling us just
where the GOP stands in this epic conflict.
Today, polls were
released showing Romney one and two points up on Obama in the swing stats
including Florida and Ohio. Of
course, one or two points is tantamount
to a “dead heat” but, three weeks
ago, Obama was “up” by 4 to 7
points. At this time in the race for the
White House, trends are the more
important consideration, and the Romney
camp must be pleased with how things stand at the end of “week one.”
