Makes perfect sense. They want change, they don’t want Romney. This is because, in their minds, Romney isn’t change.
The big problem is Romney is not being perceived as change, but rather as another machine politician. Even worse, he appears less likable personally than Obama, who is better at faking the everday guy persona, even as he is a hardcore Marxist. Especially with the media’s help.
Unless Romney makes it clear he represents something different, it is not impossible an ignorant, jaded populace will see him as just as much corrupted by big government, nanny state ideology as Obama, and vote for the guy who they think is more likable. “Hey I’m compassionate too!” and “Look, I passed a healthcare law too!” are not going to help. Thuis is the electorate who choose Obama over McCain.
This is the only electoral condition which could elect Romney, and Romney is just the go-along-to-get-along candidate who could just blow it by being nice to the Democrat.
You’d think he’d look at McCain and learn.
You'd think that the GOP country club types would have looked at McCain and learned that they can't win with a candidate like Romney who will never fire up the conservative base. One silver lining to this very dark cloud of Obama's impending re-election is that the GOP might actually be purged of its RINO infestation. I hope and pray that Romney loses and the Karl Rove types are kicked out of the party once and for all.
