rush @Limbaugh Leads @GOP In Pondering How To Deal With Improving Economy #p2 #tcot

"GM is reporting record profits. Jobs numbers are looking up. Suddenly President Obama looks like an incumbent frontrunner again. So what do Republicans who have been planning to run on a dismal economy do now?

Well, there are a lot of suggestions but no consensus.

For Republicans looking to win over independents, one has to be careful not to sound bummed about objectively good news. But you don't want to give the White House credit for it either, so instead the plan is to play backseat driver and brag that the GOP would have gotten there way faster. Let's call this the Mitt Romney Approach.

On Thursday, Romney told voters that "thank heavens" the economy is getting better and Detroit is back on its feet — but quickly added that, hey, they both would be more awesome now if everyone had listened to me.

House Republicans, who were caught off guard by surprisingly strong jobs numbers earlier this month, took a similar approach as Speaker John Boehner confirmed things were improving, but added that "we must do better.""
