12. Romney's problem is an accumulation of assholish behavior

and the general appearance of a shoddy operation. It's not that this or that content will lose voters (although I think that this particular content will turn off independents), but that a general feeling of failure, disorganization, detachment, and priggishness just pervades his campaign. Romney's problem, increasingly, is that people cannot imagine him as President in the face of such behavior. They don't like him, and it's compounded by the fact that he is constantly off-track, constantly answering for his latest statements, constantly patching holes in a disorganized and seemingly non-strategic campaign. Every week. Every week he provokes some new nonsense and drama. It just looks and feels slipshod, and slipshod doesn't unseat incumbents.
