To overcome the apparent deficit in electoral votes that Romney faces, he'll need to campaign well enough to sell his vision for our country's future to the American people. Bill Kristol and Charles Krauthammer have their doubts about whether or not Romney has it in him.

Public perception of Obamacare is improving as well: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/obama_and_democrats_health_care_plan-1130.html

Two-thirds of the country still puts blame for our economy on George W Bush.
