Romney is losing. His path to victory is extremely narrow, and Obama is nearly there ALREADY.
And Romney is certainly not “The Great Debater”. That would have been Newt.
The path to victory (or let us say, non-loss) is for Mitt to allow Barack Obama to step on his own je ne sais quoi. Which Barack Obama does with gusto. Mitt just needs to sit there and look as pretty as he can. Mitt could well throw it away. But he’d have to try.
The polling figures today simply are not good enough to support the Rovian projection to November. Obama should not be neck and neck with his presumptive challenger today — he should be way ahead. He’s got big worries.
No question. Wonder what will happen in Tampa if Milt Romnuts is down by 10 to 15% by then?
I thought Romney wasn’t yet nominated. So how can he be losing?
Which is it?
“Romney is losing. His path to victory is extremely narrow, and Obama is nearly there ALREADY.”
I think the game is rigged though. We have Soviet style candidates, we might be having Soviet style elections too.
If I am WRONG however, Romney may well be obliterated.
Everything that can be thrown at Obama has been thrown at him for three years, and deservedly so. So far, almost no one has attacked Willard Mitt Romney as he will be, and as he deserves to be. We’ll see how Willard stands up to the same same kind of campaign he waged against his betters (each and every one of them, bar none) in the primary. Add to that Obama has delivered most of what his base clamored for, Willard has shattered the GOP base for a long time or even permanently.
