Mitt just doesn't have what it takes ...

Thinking about the Romney camp. They've decided that, after all, harping on the economy is not going to put them over the top in November. Well, d'uh.

The American people apparently know that the Republicans are at least as culpable on that score as any Democrat. And people apparently know that Obama's attempts to stimulate the economy with federal infrastructure projects worked and would have kept on working, if certain people had not put a stop to it before it had a chance to do permanent good.

So, now, Mr. I've-Got-Nuthin' is looking around for something else to say that will make people distrust the guy he's running against and think -- at this late date -- that Mitt might not be that great a risk in the White House. So, how's that working for him?

Running off a the mouth about Libya and Egypt probably wasn't a good way to launch his new plan to expand talking points from jobs-jobs-and-no-jobs to more national and international issues. No. Displaying -- once again -- his inept foreign policy chops was not helpful, not to Mitt, and certainly not to our country.

And now, some pundits' lengthy analyses of the Romney campaign are painting an enterprise in chaos. People running around in all directions, back-biting and in-fighting, wondering how they're going to turn things around with only a tad more than a month and a half left until the election. It's a little late to be retooling the message, don't you think? Or is this "any port in a storm" time at Romney headquarters?

You know, this whole debacle does not speak well of Ol' Mitt's ability to run an enterprise. Not well at all.

If he's this bad at running his own bitty campaign, why would anyone think he could run a whole country -- especially one that occasionally must weather a crisis and be seen as a world leader during tough times?

No, Mitt's used to running a company, a corporation, some enterprise limited to making a profit for shareholders. In that world, you can change course in mid-stream. In that world, you can throw up your hands and call it a day.

But running a country is a whole other thing. And Mitt's clearly not up to it.
