On Thursday, September 20, 2012 New York Times published an article titled "Before Debates, Romney Faces a Daunting Path."

The article starts with an update on the current nominees standing in polls, as well as the time remaining until their debates and election day. With early voting seven days away in Iowa, and their first debate two weeks away, Obama still maintains the lead in the majority of polls. However, with 44 days left in the home stretch, President Obama’s advisors acknowledge that Romney has plenty of time to turn the game around.

The leaked video of Mr. Romney’s “47 percent” comments have not played in his favor, and many states – such as Ohio, Florida and Colorado – are worried he is not campaigning enough in their states and he is not spending enough of his resources in vital communities. Political director Rich Beeson, however, states that they’re “making some very strategic decisions. And when we’re coming down to the end, you’ll see the governor everywhere he needs to be.”

So, is Romney digging himself into deeper trouble by not addressing this “47 percent” of the public he’s convinced will never vote for him? Or is he playing it smart by visiting voters who are unsure of where they stand?

Time can only tell.
