Unfortunately, Mark has a point. This late in the race, with three and a half years of disastrous economic conditions, incompetent leadership, economically-ignorant policymaking, and the worst kind of crony politics, plus the Republican nomination all but sewn up months ago, Romney is still polling within a few points of the Zer0. Romney is making next to no headway. There’s a noticeable streak of the allegedly-Republican base that doesn’t support him and won’t vote for him, and plenty of negative press coverage that he does nothing to refute. Two months is a long time in politics, but not that long. Even with the selection of Ryan, I just can’t see Romney’s campaign taking off strongly enough to carry him to victory in the election.

I agree. This is not the same country it was in 1980. Demographics is everything and this country has increasingly become made up by more and more people would vote for a 3 legged, one eyed dog, as long as it was a Democrat and no matter how bad things are.

Yep. Time to bail. No point in wasting your vote with Romney when you can vote for someone who believes in the same things you do.

It's Romney who's "allegedly Republican," not the Republican conservative base.

Part of why Romney isn’t getting traction is that he is not even the nominee at this point.
He doesn’t have the delegates yet.
He is the presumptive nominee, and he still has Obama worried.

Wait until the convention in a couple of weeks and you will see his campaign solidify.
