So here's where we are: The Republicans can't credibly talk about unemployment because it is down (5.9%) below even what Romney claimed his policies would result in. The Republicans can't credibly criticize the federal deficit because it is down, even below what the Congressional Budget Office predicted. The Republicans can't credibly criticize Obamacare, because it is clearly meeting its goals.
Yes, I used "Republicans" and the concept of credibility in three consecutive sentences. What's wrong with me?
The Republicans are said to be ahead.
