Is Mitt Romney running the worst campaign ever?

It is the day before the election and no one knows what he stands for. I think this is his message:

Vote for me because the other guy is black.
Vote for me because I say I can create 12 million new jobs.
Vote for me because I have a 25% tax cut and this cut will not increase the deficit.

Am I missing anything here?

I'm also concerned about election fraud by the GOP, but we shall see.

than they deserve.

Kerry's campaign was much better than portrayed, and Bush's wasn't nearly as good as it was portrayed.

Similarly, Obama's campaign was better than McCain's, but not that much better. The fundamentals that year doomed McCain.

Vote for me so homosexuals can be put in concentration camps like the Mormons in Utah have done so successfully

Vote for me so we can force illegal immigrants to 'voluntarily expel themselves' from our country

Vote for me so we blame Obama for global warming, for Hurricanes and rising water and then pay $5,000 out of our campaign to give cans of corn to NJ who has a reported multibillion dollars in damage which won't get paid by a fema we will downsize

Vote for me so I can show the world how 'less than' women are, by putting them in binders, magnanimously giving them time to 'make dinner' instead of working till 8pm, since we all know the role of a woman is barefoot and pregnant and cooking dinner for their morman hubbies(or as he was quoted, 'make a nice meal, dress real nice, and keep your family, Ann away from the house')

Vote for me so I can outsource jobs to china and then pay millions for a TV ad scaring you into voting for me or else lose your job which is what will happen anyway if I am elected

Vote for me so the Catholics like Paul Ryan can have another reason to beat up on gays and LGBT Rights

Vote for me so I can fulfill Joseph Smith's mormon legacy of punishing the US for punishing the mormons who were tarred and feathered and driven out of towns because of their teenager incest and rape activities due to polygamy

***
I could go on but this list makes me sick even writing it..

what gets me is that any americans could vote for this asshole...

Any time you've managed to stay within around two points of an incumbent with 50%+ approval, you're doing respectably. If it really was a "worst" campaign, he'd be down on double digits nationwide.
