Surprisingly, yes.
Go over to the Big sites. They actually LIKE Romney. And from what I’ve seen of people on Twitter, Obama has lost his shine with the dems.
With Rs, it’s mixed. I think people dislike Romney but Hate O. With the libs, you throw anyone up and he/she will stick like glue. Especially a woman.
I guess that’s the crux of the dilemma. While unpopular with certain factions on each side, will the candidates’ voters turn out?
Even though I don’t have much respect for Romney, I’ll turn out and vote - maybe even punch the ticket for him. But, I’m damned, damned sure I’m gonna vote down-ticket, hard line to hopefully help get a Congress and Senate backstop emplaced that could keep Obama, or Romney for that matter, hogtied. As long as a two-house majority exists, then all I have to do here in Georgia is threaten holy hell to Chambliss and Isakson to keep them in line (a couple of backsliding politicians if you aks me).....
Last polling I saw had Romney as being supported by 87% of Republicans. I don't know what % of Dems support Obama but it is probably similar.
