    Joe, the Romney campaign’s control-freakery makes for bad democracy, but I suspect it’s a smart strategy. Consider the way Mitt’s personal approval rating has bounced back over the past several weeks. As the GOP primaries wrapped up, Romney was roughly as unpopular as late-era George W. Bush. Now he’s about even with Barack Obama. Since [...]

    In a recent piece about the Obama-Romney ad wars, Michael Scherer made the smart point that this election is different from past ones in that the incumbent no longer gets a free hit on his rival during the period immediately following the primary. The reason: super PACs have the cash to cover that gap while the [...]

  • Recalcitrant Romney

    Joe Klein
    16 May 2012 | 10:41 am
    Mitt Romney is clearly a candidate terrified by his own mouth. What other explanation for his campaign’s extreme efforts to prevent reporters from asking him questions? I know that there isn’t much public sympathy for journalistic whining–including my own occasional, stupid laments–about the lack of access. But Romney’s staff has clearly taken this to a [...]

  • Who Is More Thoughtful—Obama or Romney?

    Justin Frank, M.D.
    16 May 2012 | 5:00 am
    Obama’s announcement of his support for gay marriage and Romney’s reaction to the revelations that he bullied a gay classmate in prep school offer vivid examples of the differences between how the two candidates think — and, ultimately, govern. People mistrust people who take time to think before they speak, which accounts for some of [...]
