Of course he cant win the same as 2008. That was always impossible. But he doesn't have too. If he wins with a margin like GWB did in 2000 by focusing on swing states as he is doing that is still a win, and with things this bad it would be a big win for him. Of course that would NOT give him a governable DC which in itself would be a good thing.
At this point in the race I expect both sides : Dems (MSNBC=Obama home ) and Republicans (FNC/Rove=Romney home, +Rush) to be showing only polls that indicate that their man is winning, and we do. So that means nothing.
But when I see Fox and Friends (Romney;s home) start off in the morning talking about how Obam's personal attacks on Romney (etc taxes ) are working and hurting him, then I take note.
Romney is a disaster for a candidate. He is an empty suit who cant argue what he really is for, assuming he believes in anything, because most of the positions he took are someone else's. So he avoids talking about them, and Dems define them for him.
Yes, There still is the RNC convention, but it looks like it will be the parade of the RINOs.
That first night is looking like the first night of a Democrat convention.
You have three women, one White, one Black, and one Hispanic. Then you have John McCain.
So what we have is gender and racial specific. Then we toss in a dash of Ted Kennedy for flavor.
Sound like a Republican Convention to anyone? It sure doesn’t to me.
