Obama Longs for the Good Old Days of '08

Well, what do you know?

Mitt Romney's really is throwing the progs into conniptions.

See Byron York, "In tough fight with Romney, Obama longs for McCain" (via Memeorandum):

The last week, more than any in the campaign so far, has shown Team Obama that Romney and his aides are prepared to fight as hard as needed to win in November. The Romney-organized shouting-down of top Obama aide David Axelrod in Boston; the Romney sneak event at the old Solyndra headquarters in California; Romney's refusal to give in to Democratic demands to repudiate Trump; and Romney's determination to avoid side controversies while remaining singularly focused on the economy all revealed a candidate who has resolved to battle Obama on his own, and not Obama's, terms. It's no wonder Obama has become nostalgic for the relatively comfortable days of 2008.

Also blogging:

* Neo-Neocon, "“In tough fight with Romney…”"

* Pundette, "Obama diagnoses the opposition: They've got 'a fever'."

* Q &O, "Obama: 'Hey, Mitt, wouldn’t you rather be a nice loser than a mean winner?'"

* Wake Up America, "Romney Rallies The Base While Obama Becomes Nostalgic For John McCain."

BONUS: No More Mr. Nice Blog calls foul:

Right-wing spinmeisters are saying to the base, "Oooh, we took the gloves off and Obama is whining!" In fact, Obama's trying to warn centrist voters not to be fooled when they read that Romney is really, deep down inside, a middle-of-the-road guy.

Idiot.

It's not ideology. It's backbone. Romney's not capitulating to the left's narrative, freakin' dweeb.
