Democratic Insiders View Romney as Obama's Main Threat
National Journal ^ | August 4, 2011 | James A. Barnes and Peter Bell

Posted on 08/04/2011 7:17:07 PM PDT by CharlyFord

With the economy sputtering, Democratic political operatives view former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney as the main Republican threat to President Obama's reelection, according to this week's National Journal Political Insiders Poll.

Democratic Insiders see Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who has not yet declared whether or not he will run for president, as the second strongest against Obama. A separate poll of Republican insiders, released Thursday, also showed Perry as Romney's main GOP challenger.

With a Billion Dollars to spend and his large, influential campaign staff (the media), don’t think for an instant beating him will be easy.

You got it! it's going to be the campaign form he!! whoever gets the Republican nomination.

If Romney is nominated, the MSM would dig up every Mormon atrocity ever dreamed up and hang it around his neck. They will have a 'field day'!

BS on the dem lies!

They fear most, the one they’ve attacked since 2008.

When they have to say “President Palin”, their little brains will explode.

We may have actual spontaneous combustions on the air by Chrissy Matthews and the shrews on The Spew.

I can’t wait.

We have to get through the last horrible months of Obamageddon, to get to the good stuff like that.

RNC-GOP...Do Not Screw This Up!

We will not vote for a RINO!!!

If the GOP indeed nominates Romney, Obama wins hands down.

So they fear Romney the most?

Oh, I get it. They’ve been attacking Romney all along, indirectly, by going after Palin.

Must be a sort of Ivy League style, too-smart-for-the-Tea Party, stealth way to campaign against Romney. Making their move against Mitt by pretending they can’t stand Palin. Deep!

Romney would have a much better chance being elected President if he ran as a Democrat.

Romney is no threat to the Dems; he’s their chosen one; the McCain of 2012, and their backup man is Perry, who is soiled on so many levels that he will self-defeat.

Palin is the one on whom they expend all their effort to destroy, and every attack just makes her that much stronger.
