The Electoral College

[chance1]

I would agree. I know our colleague Chance wants to look at polls in some of the battleground states now, which is fair ... but the thing to keep in mind is that this is about as good as it is going to get for Romney ... for the primary reason that what we are seeing now is not actually Pro-Romney, but rather the Anti-Obama sentiment. Once Romney is put under the spotlight, I guarantee the public is not going to be impressed. It will only go downhill for him once everyone is full-on in General Election mode, put in debates (which are not his strong point), etc.

Romney's performance is Massachusetts was dismal. If he couldn't create jobs, which is the main thing the American public wants to see .... and has a reputation as a flip-flopper, "will say anything to get elected" politician, supports Bush-type economic and Foreign policies ... you mean to tell me this is going to go over well with the American public?

They have not forgotten about Bush yet, I assure you.

i like "colleague"

not sure about the "good as it gets" - have you seen the movie btw ? Nicholson and Keaton - classic - funny and real - check it

by most accounts, the economy is getting worse not better - that the may jobs reports which was as abysmal as it gets - is just the start

people look at their economic situation EVERY DAY - if things get worse (and i hope they don't) they will by default blame the status quo - Obama - their President - who's main case now is that "they won't let me be quarterback"

bad times = change

as for Romney and job creations, I thought I read that unemployment in Massachusetts was < 5% - I'll take that - you don't need to create jobs if people have jobs

so I think that's a non starter

if the economy turns for the better, it's all obama - with a good electoral win

if not .................

I think the White House (the house) will be a step down for Mitt right?

LOL
