Miles to go before he sleeps

And Mr. Romney has promises to keep.

Romney spoke before a crowd of more than 1,000 at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds. He said he had a “presidential accountability scorecard” to help grow the U.S. economy.

The [Denver] Post said Romney pointed to energy independence, making sure the young have the skills to succeed, improving the U.S. trade system, cutting the national debt and championing small businesses.

If goals in those five areas are achieved, Romney said, it would create an estimated 12 million jobs, the Post reported.

An estimated 12 million jobs? Seriously? Shades of McCain's secret plan to "get bin Laden."

That's it. I'm dusting off my old favorite conspiracy theory. I can only believe Rmoney is deliberately throwing the election. Newly convinced they're going to pull a bait and switch at the convention. I hope I'm wrong.
