He’ll win, of that there is little doubt. (And I’ve gone on record and stand buy it saying we can fight him and that Romney will kill conservatism ... but I digress). But the Liberals I know are not happy at all with him but no way they are going to sit home or vote GOP.
It is a joyless slog indeed. But remember, most people don’t think like we do (nor do most think like the Libs), so don’t be amazed that Obama isn’t disliked as we dislike him.
Actually every day there is more and more doubt that Obama will win. http://www.colorado.edu/news/releases/2012/08/22/analysis-election-factors-points-romney-win-university-colorado-study-says
And when Gallup shows 51% of Republicans enthusiastic to vote but only 39% of Democrats, yes, a fair number of Dems will stay home contrary to what you claim. While they don’t dislike him like we do, many are disappointed in him and just don’t feel like they can give him another shot at it-—even if they won’t vote for Romney. In addition, Romney is drawing away a net 5 percentage points more of Obama’s 2008 vote than Obama is drawing from McCain voters.
And Romney will kill conservatism? A man who picks a solid conservative running mate like Paul Ryan is not out to kill conservatism. The primary’s over. Time to retire the tired old attack buzz saws on Romney.
