"Unleash the Hound" (from the car roof)

Having observed that the balance of American voters have agreed that "eh, it could be worse" when they look at the Presidential race, the Romney Campaign apparently spent the weekend deciding to change strategy. Losing can do that. But having decided the economy will not be enough to give them victory, like a campaign full of Baldrick's they have a cunning plan:

Ryan was chaffing at Boston constraining him from talking about and defending his policy ideas from Democratic attacks. Ryan wanted to be "unleashed," the Republican said. And Ryan’s latest campaign swing offers the clearest indication that he’s gotten his wish.

On Friday at the Values Voters Summit in Washington, D.C., Ryan offered a new gambit on offense, attacking Obama on social issues and income inequality in one fell swoop.“’We’re all in this together’ – it has a nice ring,” Ryan said, quoting a frequent Obama line. “For everyone who loves this country, it is not only true but obvious,” he said. “Yet how hollow it sounds coming from a politician who has never once lifted a hand to defend the most helpless and innocent of all human beings, the child waiting to be born.”

When all else fails -- at least pull out the "abortion card" -- yeah, that'll convince that handful of wavering independents. One gets the feeling this plan was come up by the same adviser who blames Obama for abandoning Czechoslovakia.
