Mitt Romney's campaign is in disarray—how's that for breaking news? But they seem to be admitting it a mere seven weeks from the election, and are turning rightward for relief. Good idea? I'm not so sure.

He's never run ahead of President Obama, and now his only hopes are that he says something transformative during the debates (or the president does, in reverse) or something dreadful happens in the news that somehow plays to Romney's strengths.

Wait, what are those again?

Keep your fingers crossed and vote, vote, vote. (Only once, though.)
