The polls are not meaningless. For one thing, they allow us to see trends. Those who refuse to see the problems with a Mitt candidacy simply will not face the facts: the trend line shows that over the course of a full year, as the public has been more and more exposed to him, his unfavorables have risen. As have the number of people who say they absolutely will not vote for him.

One has to have a compelling argument that this phenomenon will suddenly reverse itself. I have yet to hear it. If he changes what he has been saying for the past year, he is going to be even more vulnerable on the charges of flipflopping and inauthenticity.

A lot of people don’t like him. It’s a shame so many FReepers cannot acknowledge reality.

In a head to head race with hillary Romeny stands as good a shot as any gop candidate to beat her. The phenomenon that you mention is the general campaign. One between a vicious evil person, and a decent man. One between someone that has never accomplished a damn in her life, and a man that was successful in the private sector. Put them head to head for a few months, in televised debates and he beats her. Plus, hillary’s campaign I believe is mortally wounded if Obama is not the veep. I think Romney if the nominee, will be an African-American to be his running mate. And in this scenario she’s toast.
