Because It Worked So Well Back Then

Echoing my point from the other day, Benjy Sarlin also takes notice that Romney's strategy is increasingly being copied from McCain's 2008 playbook.

The only thing Sarlin doesn't mention is the Republican belief that it's possible Obama might have had brain surgery.  It's one of the most classic GOP stories ever told to get the public to distrust the president.  And it was pushed by none other than the Republican media apparatus, Fox News. 

There's no making this stuff up.  They are that crazy.  Like I said a few days ago.  I believe Mittens' campaign is mere days away from a calling press conference together asking Obama to show his MRI scans.
