The US economy has started gearing up into a full recovery, shaving down jobless numbers, sending stocks soaring and giving consumers a much-needed boost of confidence.
The drawn-out battle for the GOP nomination has seen the Republican party drift so far to the right that it has catastrophically damaged its election chances.
The current contrast between the two parties' fortunes was amply illustrated last week, when Romney managed to eke out a narrow win in his own home state of Michigan against a conservative challenge from former senator Rick Santorum.
Romney, who gave an embarrassing speech to a virtually empty stadium in Detroit, was hobbled by his opposition to a bailout that helped save Michigan's car industry.
Meanwhile, Obama was speaking to a raucous, cheering crowd of car workers. "I placed my bet on the American worker!" Obama said...
The last poll to measure who would win Michigan in a match-up between Romney and Obama left little doubt who is ahead. It put Obama up by a whopping 18 points, crushing Michigan-born Romney by 51% to 33%.
