A Referendum, Not a Choice

Here is Jay Cost arguing conclusively that this fall's presidential election will be a referendum on Barack Obama, not an election of choice between him and Mitt Romney.  Why?  Because Republicans won't let him off the hook.

By trying to cast it as a choice, Obama is taking the only possible road to re-election.  How can Independents possibly like his record? .

Of course, if Jay's argument is correct, it means Obama will lose.
