President Obama hasn't even given his big jobs speech yet, but that didn't stop Mitt Romney from declaring it a failure—and unveiling his own 160-page economic plan—during a rambling speech in Las Vegas today. The only thing more obvious than the impracticality of Romney's proposals was how desperate he is to be elected. Or as Jon Stewart put it on tonight's Daily Show: "You want to be President so bad, Al Gore can taste it."

Nail in coffin? That's a big over stated methinks. Way to pump the sensation subject line machine. I love being fooled. It makes me believe you SOOOO much more with every passing minute.

Coffins have many nails, you know. Hence "another" and not "the final."

I follow politics extensively, watch The Daily Show all the time, and know lots about Romney. This isn't a nail in a coffin. I was expecting something much better. This is nothing. Hence, my comment above.

You do realize the headline referred to Stewart's opinion of Romney's chances against Perry and didn't represent any sort of personal opinion of mine, right? Also: Stewart did it again tonight.

Of course. He just didn't cover anything that warrants a referral to nails and coffins. I was expecting something damning. This isn't damning at all.
