However, given that they have thrown everything, including the kitchen sink, at him since he won, I wonder if it will work any better?

The DNC started in on Romney early too (probably) correctly believing him to be the eventual nominee. So far, that prediction seems to be coming to fruition.

and I'd be surprised if Obama and his team doesn't do something like that too- in response to foreign policy attacks.
