Romney Camp Decides: The Economy Isn't Enough

It’s not enough just to criticize,” says Ryan. Agrees an aide: “We have to bring more to the table.”
OLDSMAR, Fla. — Mitt Romney’s campaign for president appears to have quietly abandoned its guiding assumption, that the election would center on the struggling economy, and has visibly begun to feel for a new message.
Romney and — particularly — his running mate Rep. Paul Ryan, have spent a week road-testing alternatives, going positive and going negative, swinging at the president on everything from faith to foreign policy. The new efforts mark a shift from a summer of fruitless discipline and a convention in which attempts to present a friendly, moderate tone trumped any policy substance. And campaign planners said their moves mark a new campaign consensus.
“No one in Boston thinks this can only be about the economy anymore,” one top aide said last week. “The economy narrows the gap and puts us in contention, but we have to bring more to the table.”
guess the "truth" is not an option for them given their being knee deep in elephant dung already.
when you start by deceiving the people and the truth overcomes your dishonesty what does Romney camp do, send their surrogates to ACE Hardware to buy more shovels, "DUH".
