Rombots strategy is simple:
He is a squishy moderate - So all of those fence-riders will feel it is “ok” to go with him because he doesn’t seem too different from Obama, which they dont really care for anymore without feeling they are going “too far”.
He can claim several important states as “home” - Michigan, Mass, with Maine and NH by proxy.
“Deseret” is basically in the bag - Nv, Az, Ut, Colo, Id, Wy, with parts of several others.
The south isnt going to vote for Obama no matter how tick they are with Romney.
Good analysis. I know many Obama voters that will vote for Mitt precisely because he is left enough that they don’t feel like they are voting for a conservative.
But these same people will not vote for a candidate that has been made to look ridiculous. That is where Mitts mormonism will come in. And that is going to be Obama’s strategy.....
It's great that Santorum got out, seeing the concern he might not even take his home state.... so that we could replace him with a guy who... might not even take his home state.
