I'm seeing not huge enthusiasm for Romney. I'm also seeing extreme dislike of Obama, even from former supporters. Now, that said, the Romney ground game has been focused on calling, calling, calling. They are just now starting to walk. I think they took Rove's 04 campaign and doubled it. My county made 85,000 calls last month alone---a national record. My friend in SE OH/NW W VA says that the sentiment is strongly anti-Obama there even among union people.
So Romney probably won't have the "Palin love" but it still may translate into a lot more votes.
A lot of my friends had differing opinions about who they wanted in the primary ....but now that it's all settled for Romney they and just about every family member they have are in the "Anybody But Obozo" column.
.....most of them voted for Gingrich and you know how close that was for Romney in Ohio. So I'd say the "ABO" column is about as much loyalty as Romney can expect from them, although they were beyond ecstatic with the Ryan pick.
