It’s simply not possible for Romney to win. The “swiftboating” of Romney that would occur, or should I say “Bainboating,” would make what was thrown at Kerry look like pixie dust compared to an epic mudslide. Even if Romney did nothing wrong, the tarnishing they would be able to do to him based on the layoffs at and mismanagement of the firms under Bain would be enough to fatally smear him. But the reality is that Romney abused the financial system to make his profits at Bain. They took out loans on firms that went bankrupt and were able to keep all the money for themselves due to sleazy accounting gimmicks and a corporate shell game.
Once the voters hear this explained clearly, and repeatedly, by the mainstream media, the level of mistrust that will surround Romney will be devastating. The Democrats may have to start a few months before the election because this is a lot to explain and can be a little confusing. So I wouldn’t be surprised if the Republicans end up trying to get Romney to stand down if there’s enough time before the election and replace him with another candidate. At a certain point it will become abundantly clear that Romney will lose in a landslide like he did to Ted Kennedy in 1994 and will end up taking Republican control of the House down with him.

This is a perfect example of the closed loop system of FR that was referred to by another Freeper. FR is an echo chamber of its own philosophy, and fails to see that other belief systems exist outside of it. There are a lost of more moderate and liberal Republicans as well as a bunch of Independents, and including a good chunk of pragmatic conservatives who will have no problem at all choosing Romney over Obama. Don’t underestimate the Pub’s ability to win with any one of our current candidates, against Obama. In fact, I predict close to a landslide over Obama.
