Three Quarters Of GOP Voters Do Not Support Romney

Mitt Romney’s polls seem stuck in the low to mid twenty percentile. As the weeks and months have passed Romney’s polling numbers seem steady in that range. There’s a reason for that. The conservative voters within the GOP do not support Romney for President of the United States.

That, dear reader, is why Herman Cain’s numbers have been skyrocketing

There are recent reports stating that Herman Cain is the candidate the Tea Party has thrown its support behind and Cain is the top choice from the GOP field by SOUTHERNERS. As a conservative southern gentleman – none of this comes as a surprise.

Look. Sophisticated republican voters already know it would take an act of God for Mr. Cain to receive the anointing the GOP as the Republican nominee to run against Obama. Nevertheless, they have seemingly flocked to Cain, a real conservative, and are looking much more approvingly at Newt Gingrich. (Mrs. Bachmann is finished — kaput. She flamed out the moment Rick Perry entered the race.)

There is a very clear message being sent to the GOP hierarchy: We want a CONSERVATIVE candidate – not another moderate RINO! All the other candidates are “also rans.”

Mr. Cain simply does not have the financial means to run a head-to-head campaign against Romney for very long. His star will begin to fade very soon and conservative voters will be told, once again, they must “settle” for another moderate nominee … Romney.

There are two dangers for the GOP in this scenario. One – that Romney will win the nomination, and two – that conservative voters will stay home on Election Day in November of 2012.

Very true. But the establishment unified around Romney long ago. Conservatives are split among 4-5 candidates.

If they remain split like that, Romney has his plurality.

That’s the stark truth. Romeney doesn’t need 75 % of Republicans backing him. All he needs is to have at least two “not-Romney” candidates fighting each other. At that point, a bit more than a 1/3 plurality wins. Only if we can get it down to a head-to-head between Romney and one, single, unique, one not-Romney does Romney lose.

65% of Republicans don't like Romney? But 99.44% of the Republican elites love him.
Now that sounds to me like a real winning strategy. I may just puke.

[Houghton M.]

You think I’m supporting Romney? I’m pointing out how we are going to end up with him unless we unify around a single not-Romney. As long as we bicker among ourselves, we guarantee the establishment wins.

Get off your high horse for a minute and reflect.

After Obama is shoveled out in 2012, the Stupid Party will be next.

I have no intent on trying to convince them of anything, just get out.

Who cares what voters want? The Beltway Cabal has made Romney their man.

“Who cares what voters want? The Beltway Cabal has made Romney their man.”

Well...we will just have to rally behind Cain with some more tea parties won’t we?

I say we all just march on Washington, try to get a million plus and invite only real conservatives like Cain, Gingrich, Palin, Bachman as well as Rush, Levin, Hannity, Quinn and Rose, etc. Let our cries of freedom ring so high and so far that it chokes the whole lot of them in both parties.

“There are two dangers for the GOP in this scenario. One – that Romney will win the nomination, and two – that conservative voters will stay home on Election Day in November of 2012.”

Wait, what’s the second danger?

[MHGinTN]

The second danger is suppressed turnout: “... that conservative voters will stay home on Election Day in November of 2012.”

Romney’s favorable/unfavorable ratings among GOP primary voters is pretty good. He can win a head-to-head race against any of the others.

So do not expect an easy solution to Mitt.

... that conservative voters will stay home on Election Day in November of 2012.”

Brilliant! Have a tantrum if Romney is the nominee. Get obunghole for another 4 years. Have him appoint another supreme court justice, maybe replacing one of the conservatives or Kennedy. The end of the Republic.
We should do what we can to keep Romney from winning the nomination, but, I think it’s down right unpatriotic to stay home if he is. Obunghole must go. That takes priority over my dislike of Romney.

Frontline was interesting last night. It said Obama had gotten something like 78% of the Hispanic vote in 2008, but a Hispanic pollster said Obama’s support in the Hispanic community is down to about 40%. He said, “That doesn't mean they are going to go out and vote Republican, that would be like jumping out of the frying pan into the fire, so to speak. But it means they will most likely stay home on election day.”
