The media continues to try and depress the anti-regime vote in this country.

Did anyone ever think they'd live to see the entire media so in the tank for any single politician?

What’s this ‘feel a connection’ crap? Have women emasculated our society that badly? Apparently so.

Three in four Americans feel they have little or nothing in common with Mitt Romney,

Ok maybe I don't have much in common with Romney, but the same was true of Reagan. I do however feel both men are closer in values to me, and there's the difference.

Example, I don't personally know any communists, much less scores of them
I don't see Mao as an inspiration
I think the police by and large try to do what's right and enforce the law.
I never met a domestic terrorist, much less befriended one.

So while I don't travel in the same circles as Romney, I think he's closer in belief's to me than the pretend president is.

I don’t need to feel ‘connected’ to Romney .... I DO need to be ‘disconnected’ from Obummer in November.

What a stupid question. I don’t want a personal connection with politicians - I just want them to lead us out of this disaster. Talk about the chickification of America.

What a load of crap. No connection? Romney is the guy who shows up at the neighbor’s house to help dig up a stump or to get a hornet’s nest off the roof. Romney is the guy who spends time with a dying kid. Romney is the guy who shows up with presents at the house of a church member at Christmas. Obama does none of these things. Obama has a criminal give him a sweetheart deal on a house. Obama spends a fortune on vacations at the expense of the taxpayer. Obama thinks the average American clings to guns and religion out of bitterness.

Yahoo “News” took a bit of time out from posting its mindless celebrity gossip and fashion updates to pretend for a fleeting moment that it’s a real-life news organization.

Why any American would feel a 'connection' to Barack Hussein Obama, a mixed race man who never really knew his African father and a white mother who hated the country of her birth. A man who was raised (if not born) overseas, in a Muslim country and attended Muslim religious schools with a hardcore communist as a close family friend. A man who's pastor/mentor in America was a rabid racist who despises America. A man who embraced radical anti-American domestic terrorists and for whom no left-wing cause is too extreme but who calls any Republican even suggesting we need to get control of government entitlement programs 'radical and extreme'. A man that lies constantly and who's biography is a fake of the first order. Yeah, that guy. How can any patriotic Americ an even pretend to identify with that?

Meanwhile, the totally corrupted leftmedia continues to brazenly pimp for Obama's re-election and issues fake polls that always, always put Romney in a bad light while making Obama look good by comparison. The U.S. media has become nothing more than a Democrat propaganda machine...and is just as useless.

What a bunch of horse biscuits....I don't want to feel ANY PERSONAL CONNECTION to any dumb dodo politician...They are all a bunch of of idiots...I wouldn't even want to live next door to one....this personal crap comes from the MSM. They want a real personal relationship with politician's...(If you catch my drift) don't blame this female. But I am of the belief that only a man can emasculate himself... I guess its been that way since Adam told God "she made me eat the fruit" therefore its her fault :O)

I don’t CARE. I don’t NEED a “personal” connection with a political figure to vote for him or her. At this point it doesn’t matter a whit to me- he’s NOT OBAMA. That is ALL that matters.

Sheesh...are we electing presidents now based on whether or not they have an American Idol personality???

I AM SO FED UP WITH THIS CRAP.

I have “no personal connection” to Obama, so there.

With Romney there is the same state, same political party, both devoted to Christian-based religion (okay, I know...), close family, Mr. Romney loves the U.S.

Pretty stupid question. An 8th grade level quiz. Typical for Esquire and Yahoo.

Neither guy passes the “who would I be willing to spend a day on a float trip with a case of beer test”.

I’d be sorely tempted to throw both out of the raft when we hit rapids and keep the beer... (theoretically speaking)

When I read this story about the fellow who bought his house in Idaho, I felt a lot better about how Romney will connect with us “average folks”.
