It doesn't get any weaker than that, TB. If you can't defend your guy any better than that he can't be defended. However, some people will still vote for him. Don't worry.

To jump metaphors, the wagons are circled so tightly around Obama, the hope is that nobody can see him at all. If somebody landed here from another planet and read the papers, you'd think Obama was the one running for president for the first time against an incumbent president with a miserable record. Incidentally, you might want to do a quick check around here on who's "bringing things up." No. The guns are constantly tracking.

Speaking of October surprises, I notice the Democrats are firing theirs off in September. You'd almost think Obama had a sudden need for a distraction. Again. I note that with the media firing broadside after broadside until their barrels glow, Obama today is one point ahead. I like the way Democrats believe their leaders are just pretending to be idiots.

So I don't entirely disagree with you on this, but on the practical side, its neither early enough in the campaign to do that smoothly, nor is it really necessary. Barring an unforeseen October Surprise, Obama will win. Besides, Joe has shown himself to be a very effective close-combat street fighter, in spite of his carefully cultivated reputation as a bumbling oaf. Paul Ryan is going to learn that the hard way in the debates. I speculated about that myself here a few months ago, before it became clear how dismally inept Romney really was.
