Bedrock to Quicksand

One minute you’re standing on solid ground and the next the trap door springs open and you’re falling through mid-air.
 
Last week, the New York Times reported Republican political consultants made a startling discovery: They discovered swing voters have a stubborn affinity for Barack Obama and President Obama’s economic failure is not enough to elect Mitt Romney.
 
That is earth-shattering news – for months Republican strategists have been shrugging off Obama’s attacks on Romney, saying, It’s the economy, stupid. That’s all there is. Nothing else matters – but now they’re saying the economy’s not enough.
 
Can it be the bedrock beneath our feet just turned to quicksand?
