I can't believe it isn't having an effect, most people are not as savvy at finding the truth as FR participants are.
We shall see.
Don’t count Santorum or Gingrich out just yet. The speech that Romney gave yesterday was far from a barn burner. Poor fellow, has no conviction, no fire in the belly, and, is boring to boot. I call him aptly, John McCain #2. And....I really dislike McCain for the whimp he was in 2008 when he had the opportunity to rip the political heart out of Obama because of Rev. Jeremiah Wright, and did nothing about it, other then to tell us what a good, decent man, anti-American Obama was. Folks in Michigan and Arizona, you have an opportunity to shine for freedom and your country. Vote for either Rick Santorum or Newt Gingrich this coming Tuesday!!! Believe me, Romney is not the one!!!
The problem with Romney’s schtick is that people have seen it for so long. His lies and attacks. They are sick of it and of him. They know he packed the last debate with his henchmen to boo. And they know that he and Rue Paul have entered into a Faustian pact. And more to the point they know he is a liberal elitist who put across Romney Care gay marriage. They also know he supported the WallStreet bailout for Goldman Sachs, but told Detroit (which gave him his start) to drop dead. He is a disloyal weasel.
Add this to the fact that they just don’t like the little effeminate preppy.
No conservative believes that Rick Santorum is not much more conservative than Romney. And the blue collar Democrats in Macomb county can’t wait to get out and vote against Romney. I just don’t see how Romney gets enough of a turnout in MI to win.
What about the trendlines though? It seems to me most of the candidates who won bigger than was previously polled in the state were on an uptrend over the previous few days. Santorum had been trending up in IA, Newt in SC, Romney in FL, Santorum before his hat trick. That would indicate that Romney would be on the way to a win since he has moved up in the polls the past couple days.
I got another call this morning from Mitt. (rolls eyes) Five on my machine yesterday.
