Quote from Ricter:
If facts, factors, figures, mathematics, specifically arithmetic, etc. were the focus among the general population then Romney would have NO chance. He's candidacy is already seriously wounded by the analysts' reports out there who've looked at his (and Ryan's) economic plan. This includes conservative analysts and even a couple of people on his own staff. Romney's economics are worse than useless at this point in time, and while lots of people don't understand exactly why, they've heard enough from the experts and, as I mentioned, some of his own. Toss in a few billionaires, now including a Koch brother, who think taxes need to be raised, and Romney has got nothing left to offer. Now, maybe you're going to say, "yeah, but what about Obama's non-plan?", but there IS a plan, demonstrably effective, like it or not.
