I know you hate Romney, but in an objective analysis of how he's doing, he's kicking butt. ANY objective poll that isn't slanted +10=+19 Dem shows Romney either tied or ahead. He's outraising Obama by $25m A MONTH from donors giving an average of $250.

Obama is paying millions to pollsters, STILL can't get out from under "You didn't build that," and the response is to call for Romney's taxes? Seriously? That's working? Sorry. I don't see it.

Either these HUGELY bogus polls are in fact accurate, or Romney is absolutely taking this guy apart and while the wins at individual state levels will be tight, the overall EC total will be damn big for Romney.

RE :”I know you hate Romney,...”

Generally I try not to have emotions for politicians and Romney is not really one that inspires hate in me, of the ones that do.

But I think if he was POTUS 4 years the hate would grow on me quickly.

Obama has done a great job the past 2 years of getting me to despise him. It's not what he does that gets me as much as the fact that he gets away with it with his likability numbers, and seeing Romney so lame is making it worse.

I am usually a pessimist anyway but Obama is focusing on the swing states like FLA and Ohio and MI. Even Rove has been having trouble painting an optimistic picture on those states.

National average polls are not that meaningful when they include solid states that have high populations.

The past few years Republicans have been worse (er better) than Dems at predicting victory just before disasters even though at this stage both sides are trying to spin their best.

It is not about HATE, it is about BETRAYAL
and your groveling.

“The Massachusetts Republican Party died last Tuesday.
The cause of death: failed leadership.
The party is survived by a few leftover legislators
and a handful of county officials and grassroots activists
who have been ignored for years.
Services will be public and a mass exodus of taxpayers will follow.
In lieu of flowers, send messages to Republican voters
warning them about a certain presidential candidate named Romney.”

"In 2006, while Romney was chairman of the National Republican
Governors Association - a group dedicated to electing more
Republican governors - his own hand-picked Republican successor
as governor lost badly to the Democrat, despite the fact that Republicans
have held the governorship in Massachusetts since 1990. Romney largely
ignored the Massachusetts elections and spent most of the time
during the campaign out of state building his presidential campaign.
He came back and publicly campaigned for the Republican candidate
the day before the general election!
“Locally, this is a rebuke to Mitt Romney and checking out within six months
after being elected and having accomplished almost nothing,”
[Jim] Rappaport [former chairman of the state Republican Party]."

"A political party cannot be all things to all people.
It must represent certain fundamental beliefs
which must not be compromised to political expediency
or simply to swell its numbers."
-- President Ronald Reagan

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party
over to the traitors in the battle just ended.
We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged
to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support.
Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates
wouldn’t make any sense at all.""
