Call me Pollyannaish, but I believe Mitt Romney will defeat Barack Obama in November. Let me give you some of my reasons:
1) Romney's campaign message is essentially positive; Obama's is overwhelmingly negative. People always prefer promises of something better, but Americans are especially hungry now because times are very tough. Romney is offering concrete and realistic plans to help America grow again and create millions of new jobs. Romney's message and agenda appeal to all Americans, not just certain groups, and tell them they are not imprisoned in their current economic "station" as Obama would have them believe. Though Obama's promises of "hope and change" in 2008 were vague, at least he presented them as something positive. Today he tells us we must accept an America in decline both internationally and domestically. He insists that 8 percent unemployment is the new normal and that we must adjust to the malaise because it is going to take a long time to make a dent in it.
2) Obama is appealing to people's baser instincts of envy, greed and fear and has deliberately fanned the flames of racial tension for political gain. This would have been bad enough if he'd not presented himself as a post-partisan, post-racial phenomenon.

President Barack Obama leads GOP challenger Mitt Romney, according to polls in 10 key swing states, with margins ranging from as little as 4 percentage points to as many as 12 percentage points.
This, according to Real Clear Politics, despite the president’s unpopularity and poor record of high unemployment, lost jobs and a sputtering economy.
In Tallahassee, we see lots of Obama ads targeting the elderly, basically saying they’ll lose Medicare if Romney is elected. Michelle Obama was here last week speaking to a crowd at the civic center.
Would love the Romney camp to do something here...
Don’t forget the ones in Hanover. Dems will turn them out, too. They’ll tell them that the mean Repubs want to take away their right to vote.
I am not optimistic about NH.
He always sounds like that.
My local political exyepert believes Mittens will take New Hampshire.
I listen to him a lot. That would be compared to his usual.
SIEU is all over. Romney... is he running for something?
