33. The base and talk show hosts are growing

impatient with Romney. They believe that if Romney attacked Obama more, he'd be ahead 3 to 1. Of course, Romney has done nothing but attack Obama. But the right wingers believe the stuff that excites them, Reverend Wright and Bill Ayers and similar stories are key to a Romney victory. There are lots of caller complaints about Romney too.

If Romney doesn't take a substantial lead soon, the anger from the base will grow worse, and there will be pressure on Romney to run the kinds of losing campaign the base thinks would work. The right wingers have convinced themselves that there was no news coverage of Reverend Wright and Bill Ayers in 2008.
