This week, most Americans will for the first time tune in seriously to Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign at his convention in Tampa. Most conservatives will probably like what they see – a pro-family, strong defence and small-government ticket that offers a clear alternative to a second Barack Obama term. Most liberals, however, will probably recoil from the Republican party’s demonisation of a president who took office in exceptionally tough circumstances. Weather permitting, the theatre should be compelling.
本周,多数美国人将第一次怀着严肃的心情观看米特·罗姆尼(Mitt Romney)在坦帕共和党全国代表大会上的总统竞选活动。多数保守人士可能会喜欢他们所看到的:强调家庭、强化国防以及支持小政府的竞选纲领将明显区别于竞选连任的巴拉克·奥巴马(Barack Obama)的纲领。然而,多数自由派可能会拒绝接受共和党对一位在异常艰难的局势下上台的总统的妖魔化。如果天气允许的话,这场戏应该是引人入胜的。
More important than the spectacle itself is whether Mr Romney and Paul Ryan can persuade voters they have a credible plan to revive the US economy. Executive competence is the core theme of Mr Romney’s biography. Taking the tough economic decisions is the hallmark of the Romney-Ryan campaign. On the evidence so far, the ticket deserves one and a half cheers. They are right to say 2012 is an “economy, stupid election. But there is too much detail missing from the Romney-Ryan fiscal plan to give it a clean bill of health. Far from it.
