… A few weeks ago, I wrote that a Romney comeback would be unprecedented, even though the race was within five points. I hope election watchers properly appreciate Romney’s achievement as a first in the history of presidential politics. His bounce is far more impressive than Kerry’s four years ago, which basically just brought Democratic-leaners back into Kerry’s fold.
But although Romney’s bounce is very impressive, especially in historical context, it’s important to consider the limits of his improved position. [cont.]
