Beginning of the Romney Comeback?

It's June, there was a bad jobs report and the polls are starting to swing to the right. Is this the beginning of a Mitt Romney comeback or are recent events going to just make things interesting? Romney has rode the wrapping up of the primaries to a bit of a boost in the polls. It also has helped him that the economy seems to be stuck in a slow growth mode. Those two things would seem to help him, but there are 4 more jobs reports before the election and slow growth is growth. 8 percent seems to be the mental barrier here. If Obama can get the unemployment rate to around 7.7 percent I think it will be tougher for Romney to attack on jobs. Without jobs what else could Romney use to win? Change. Maybe this time around the country is ready for change again. To use that theme Romney needs to come up with an inspirational message though. I'm not saying he can't evangelize his all American story and captivate the country, but my money is on Romney wishing for delayed job growth.
