Nancy Pelosi: GOP knows Mitt Romney can’t win
By: Seung Min Kim January 17, 2012 10:51 AM EST
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday launched political grenades at Mitt Romney, arguing that Republicans haven’t coalesced behind the GOP frontrunner because they don’t believe he can beat President Barack Obama in November.
The House’s top Democrat repeatedly jabbed at the former Massachusetts governor during an hour-long interview hosted by POLITICO and taunted the GOP for a slate of presidential contenders that she said was “not exactly what you would call the first string of the Republican Party.”
“If the far right thought that Romney could win, they might be more enthusiastic about him,” Pelosi told POLITICO’s Mike Allen during Tuesday’s Playbook Breakfast. “But they question what he stands for and they don’t think he’s going to win. So what’s the sell? I’m not sure he knows what he stands for, and that makes it harder too.”
“I don’t know who knows him,” she added of Romney. “Does he know him?”
When asked about Romney’s vow to veto the DREAM Act if he were president, Pelosi said that showed he lacked an “understanding” of policies that would not only help young illegal immigrants but bolster the United States’s competitiveness in a global economy.
“He’s not going to be president,” Pelosi said. “But I think it’s indicative of a hard line that doesn’t seem consistent with who he was as governor.”

She’s right. Mitt can’t win. He is the equal to Obama on most policy issues.
And they will hammer him for being a Mormon.
What Nanzi isn’t saying... The Dems think Obama sucks, too.
If the economy doesn’t turn around, my dog could beat Obama in November.
The more Pelosi talks about the election the better. Outside her district and diehard Democrat circles she is not popular.It does not matter what she says. She is repulsive and out there making more enemies than friends.
Romney will be “gored” in Massachusetts.
Seriously...I don’t want a candidate who can’t win his home state.
Go Newt!

“Romney is the strongest against Obama. Every poll shows this. The Dems know this. They want Santorum or Gingrich. I can’t believe some of you are buying this.”
The point that most of us are making is that we know this and have seen these same polls but Romney = Obama. Look at his record while governor and in his campaign against kennedy. He’s worse than a RINO, he’s a democrat in republican clothing. He’s pro abortion, pro gun control, etc etc and this is not just campaign rhetoric. He actually signed bills and defended his signing of these bills that come right off the democrat platform.
