Others have noted the rough patch for Romney –“in the ditch” Richelieu posits. It is easy to string two bad debates, a couple gaffes and a few less than stellar polls and wind up in trouble in this race. The test of a candidate is whether he can pull it together when things begin to go off the rails. He has assets, not just the bank account, which others don’t such as business skill, a presidential “look” and a very fine political organization. But is he great on his feet and believable as a commander in chief? If anyone needed an “I paid for this microphone” moment it is he.
