ROMNEY TO OBAMA VOTERS: He let you down.

Mitt Romney has just one job going into the last stretch of the presidential campaign. He has to connect with people who voted for Barack Obama in 2008 but are disappointed with the president now. He has to assure them that they didn't make a mistake back then, that it wasn't crazy or stupid to believe Obama's promises, but that things just haven't worked out. And he has to convince them it's OK to choose a new candidate this time around; they don't owe Obama another vote.

Let Clint Eastwood do it. Romney's job is to convince voters that free-market capitalism is the antidote to Obama's stale statism.
