Gee, I can’t wait. The Romney ship is sinking, the rats are starting to abandon ship, the leftover cretins are starting to point fingers at each other but, wait, all will be saved because the Romney people are about to give us more details on what their candidate would do as president.

This is the spin that is being pushed throughout the traditional media:

Ed Gillespie, a veteran Republican operative who is advising Mr. Romney, told reporters that voters were demanding more specifics from the campaign on the economy, foreign policy and energy concerns. He said the revamped approach will focus on communicating better about the candidate’s existing ideas rather than providing new ones.

“We are not rolling out new policy,” Mr. Gillespie said, “so much as we are making sure people understand that when we say we can do these things, here’s how we are going to get them done and these are the specifics.”

Here is the big problem: it won’t matter. You see, voters already get the idea: if you want to cut Medicare, people don’t need to see the eye-shade details. If you want to cut taxes for the very wealthy, no one needs more specifics. If your concept of international diplomacy is, well, having your candidate mouth off to try to gain political advantage when diplomats are getting killed, who needs to know more details?

The problem is: the Republicans have a product they can’t sell to enough voters.

And, thus, this election is over.
