NYT

The op-ed pages of today's New York Times constitute a serious indictment of what the lead editorial calls Romney's shallow, cavalier campaign for the presidency.  Articles by Joe Nocera, Frank Bruni, and even conservative columnist David Brooks are a telling measure of the extent to which the Republican candidate has slipped in public esteem.

Still, Democrats cannot afford to be complacent.  President Obama needs to make a forceful case for his re-election, and here at "Vote Obama 2012" we trust that the debates will afford him the opportunity to do that.  As he reiterates on every possible occasion, there remains a great deal of work to be done.  The prospect of allowing the work thus far to be undone by a return to Republican policies is a fearful one.  It behooves us not only to support the President in his re-election bid, but to do everything we can to assure him the support he will need in Congress if we are not to be denied progress by mindless and hostile Republican opposition.
