“That may have been true before the debate but most people supporting Romney are NOW doing so enthusiastically. Imperfect as he is he is head and shoulders (x10) above Obama. Sorry but that is the blunt truth.”
The guy is as slippery as an eel. During the primaries he was running on tax cuts for the eeeevil rich, and now he’s saying he’s for tax cuts on the middle class and that the rich would be “okay” regardless of who won the race.
The only thing Romney is winning is the style contest, because I’m not seeing a difference anymore in the campaigning. Gone are the days when conservatives worried about a platform.
On one hand, Romney is one of the worst candidates you'll ever see, from a purely political perspective. He's simply not a very "natural" politician.
On the other hand, he's one of the most capable men ever to run for the White House in this nation's history. Anyone who has dealt with CEOs in industry will understand how people like this operate. One of their most important attributes is one that serves them very poorly in a popularity contest, and that is their ability to be completely detached and devoid of all personal connection when dealing with a situation that requires strong leadership.
This is why I pay no attention to campaign speeches, campaign ads, etc. This is all just "noise" in the background of a very important election. If you want to get a sense of where things really stand, just sit down and watch the entire length of last week's debate -- with the sound off. Those two people didn't even belong in the same zip code, let alone on a stage in a presidential debate.
